Some Do's and Don'ts of Academic Job Interviews

Interview season is in full swing in higher education.  Despite the reduction in jobs that are available, people are still be interviewed and being offered tenure track positions. My co-host, Meggin McIntosh and I thought we would give some tips on what to do or not do when candidates are being interviewed (we throw in some advice for search committee members, too).  The springboard for our conversation is an On Hiring blog posting by Gene C. Fant, Jr., There Are Some Stupid Questions, After All (posted January 27, 2009).

We could have gone on and on forever on this topic but we were limited by time constraints.  What about you?  Do you have any suggestions for candidates, too?
