My conference in Denver was okay. I wasnt on the program to present anything- I was mostly going to participate in the Employment Service.
The ES is mostly just a speed dating service that allows potential employers to interview potential candidates for 20 minutes. I did it last year and had a bunch of interviews. This year, I had 7 interviews and an informal informational session- which is pretty decent, especially considering that a lot of people had 0 or 1 interviews.
I have already sent out a bunch of applications. For those of you who are interested:
Furman University
Skidmore College
Texas Wesleyan
University of Texas at San Antonio
Coker College
UNC Pembroke
UNC Wilmington
Baylor University
U of Richmond
U of Portland
U of Miami
U of Alabama-Birmingham
Ohio University
Yes. You read that right- three schools in Texas. Yeah, I can't believe it either. Ohio University had the earliest deadline- and they have already contacted me. This means that I am likely one of about 6-8 other "top candidates". After the phone interview, they will narrow that list down to 2-3 and invite those people for campus visits. The job is at a College of Osteopathic Medicine, in their Department of Social Medicine. Despite spending about an hour online last night trying to find it, I still don't know what the difference is between DO (doctor of osteopathy) and a regular MD is. Both do surgeries, both do residencies, both have specialities.... so who knows.
I really liked Denver. It is definitely a cool city. But I was ready to come home.
