? The individual faculty members that I talked with during my phone interview, and then my in-person interview, seemed so supportive. I was really looking for that in the next stage of my career. I really wanted a department that was collegial, that didn’t just talk about being supportive, actually was supportive and was willing to step in and help in any way they could.
