You know, the thing about conferences... you see, okay, there's the senior profs from those schools you applied to, with whom it's really hard to make eye contact, when you imagine their eyes aglow as they tossed your application in the fiery waste bin, and watched the flames flare up... but, it's funny, when you chance to meet the junior scholars who got hired for those posts, only rarely, very rarely, do they come across as just so spectacular, just so above us, that there's no doubt the committee made the right choice.<BR/><BR/>That is, <I>they</I> are not better than <I>us</I>. And you, my dear friend... are an us. And I... am looking forward to celebrating with you (even if it takes an 8-hour drive!) once we finally land our respective dream posts.

There is really a capital "T" on "The." You can refer to it as just "Juilliard" like you would use a nickname, but the full name is a big deal there. (Whatever...!)<BR/><BR/>The population is quite diverse, with a lot of international/ESL students, particularly Asians (in music--I don't know about the other arts). A blurb in the cover letter about teaching students from a wide variety of cultures/backgrounds might be useful. If you have any ESL background, it's worth mentioning.Terminal Degreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523014953046778630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18155604.post-1162872279930130952006-11-06T21:04:00.000-07:002006-11-06T21:04:00.000-07:00Holy cow!Holy cow!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18155604.post-1162858065684577272006-11-06T17:07:00.000-07:002006-11-06T17:07:00.000-07:00What are you talking about?!!
