Tips on Interviewing

Tips on Interviewing

As you can probably gather, I was recently on the academic interview circuit.  Along the way, I received a tremendous amount of advice and benefited from pages of tips  collected by others.  If you're planning on interviewing soon (or even in the distant future), here are some articles and web pages that might be of interest to you.
