Salary requirements, weekend work terms, or things like that might be turning them away.<o:p></o:p> - Are you following up with a phone call?<o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> These are just general thoughts that might be leading to your applications not being noticed.<o:p></o:p>  <o:p></o:p> Don Mannino<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center tabIndex=-1> </div> From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of John Pope Sent: Thursday, May 01, 2008 10:12 AM To: <st1:PersonName w:st="on">College and University Technicians</st1:PersonName> Subject: [CAUT] Getting an Interview<o:p></o:p> <div> Here's a question folks,<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> I've been working on pianos for about 20 years, been an RPT for about 15. I've had a part time college contract here in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Danville</st1:City> <st1:State w:st="on">KY</st1:State></st1:place> for the last 10 years, including piano prep for a very prestigious concert series. Murray PIraiha, Andre Michal Schub, Cedar Walton, and Menachem Pressler have all been here and were all pretty happy with the D. In fact everybody here is happy with the work I do.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Now, for the last 2 years I've applied for full time university jobs here and there but I have yet to get an interview.<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> Any suggestions on getting one?<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div> John Pope<o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> <div>  <o:p></o:p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
