The committee looked as if they were just going through the motions barely paying attention to what I was adding to the conversation or what I could add to the college. When I used the term "best practices," the assistant dean nearly had a fit asking me, "What do you mean by best practices? I've never heard that term." This, of course, this was a red flag. It took them a year to reject me, but I knew I wasn't going to second-round interview after that interview.
