    About the practice interview process

    Congratulations! You have gotten this far!  You submitted your CV and cover letter and now you are asked to do an interview.  

    The most common first step in the interview process is a telephone or virtual interview before an in-person interview.  With COVID-19, you may not have an in-person interview. 

    Now more than ever, it is important that your first interview allows you to set yourself apart from the competition.

    The practice interview can be designed to best fit your needs whether it is the first or second interview or your teaching or research demonstration, the perfect job is just waiting around the corner.  

    I’m here to help.
