I was contacted by the head of the department by email as well as by a detailed voice mail. The interview process was well planned an respectful of my time. I was given a tour of the campus, made a presentation to a class, conducted a rehearsal, was interviewed by the Dean and by the search committee over a delicious lunch, all in a few hours. All my interview expenses were reimbursed and I was accommodated overnight at a hotel in the area. I was introduced to most persons I ran into with the head of the department on campus. I was impressed with all the interactions I had.
