It was a pretty standard process. The hardest part was just finding parking and then the building itself, which is typical for college campuses. They set up the interview over email, and then I went in person. They skipped the usual phone calls and got straight to the point.

We had two interviews for this position. The first one was with the search committee, and we had about 30 minutes to prepare for 10 questions. If you did well enough, you'd move on to the second interview with the committee and the president. That's how they picked the top 5 candidates.

My interview got rescheduled a few times by the department. It involved a quick 10-minute email exercise and then a panel interview with three people. The Dean said he'd reply within 1.5 weeks but didn't. Very unprofessional, and no replies to my follow-up emails.
