Peer Advice for a Successful Search

"For interviewing, practice! Write out some answers to anticipated questions, and practice them over and over again. Go on mock interviews, and practice by yourself in the mirror or camera. My advice for application materials is pretty similar-- the key is focusing in on one piece, working really hard on it, refining and revising it, and then submitting it. In general, with focus and attention to detail, the rest will come."
