Mock Interviews

The Graduate Placement Committee will be holding mock interviews Dec. 10-12. Schedule an interview with a panel of Pitt faculty, who will read your materials and interview you just as if you were at MLA. This is a great way to get your feet wet in a friendly, helpful environment. Be
sure to schedule an interview even if you haven't heard back from jobs--real MLA interview requests often come at the last minute!

If you'd like to do an interview, send your availability during the following times to Ryan McDermott:

M, Dec. 10, 9:30-12:30
T, Dec. 11, 9:30-12:30
W, Dec. 12, 1:30-4:30

Also, please send along your job letter (teaching or research), your dissertation abstract, your teaching statement, and any information about jobs that have shown interest in you, or in which you are especially interested. Faculty members will use these to prepare interview questions. Interviews will last 20-30 min., followed by time for feedback.

Please send your availability by this Fri., Nov. 30.
