Maybe it will be for nothing again, but I hope it works out since the first school I'm interviewing for is in my top-5. It's a decently large R1 with great core facilities and collaborations in a city I love. My advisor has told me that the person he talked to there has said I'm the front-runner. It makes me kind of nervous. Actually, it makes me incredibly nervous. Especially since I've never been interviewed over Skype. Of course, I'll be myself, but I can't help but feel like it's going to be like my defense all over: four faculty members staring at me, judging me. Although I hope it does go like my defense. I had a really fun time, cracked some jokes, and passed with flying colors (30 second faculty deliberation). Hopefully, these faculty members are as receptive.
I'll post some time afterwards with the damage, but in the meantime, I'll be talking to myself in my office while staring at these questions. Yay.
