(I just had an interview this morning, so don't know the result yet. ) I applied this position on our school website few weeks ago and was accepted to be an "alternate" candidate, which means I didn't have the priotiry to choose an interview schedule.
The interview was hold in our school and began at 8:00am. The recruiter drove two hours from Boston, MA to our school (UMass Amherst). You can image that how tired she might be.
The whole process is very nice. The recuiter would write the point you said. If hired, I will be noticed for the next interview at the end of next week.
