First job ghosting!!!
I’ll graduate at the end of summer, so im a bit behind in applying to jobs but whatever.
A well known SLAC close to my hometown opened up a tenure track position in my field/specialty. Culture seemed like a great fit. Could be closer to my friends and family. It was the first job I applied to and I really wanted it!!!
Well, they invited me for an on campus interview! I was stoked. Then all of a sudden they said there was a “policy change” and revoked my campus visit invite… Said to wait for next steps. It’s been a month since then. So, I was looking for other job postings and I saw that the same institution reposted the position but as an adjunct role rather than TT.
No response when I emailed search chair and HR asking about the status of the TT position. Guess that’s that? Wish they would have at least let me know instead of ghosting me. I’m bitter about it, lol.
