.... I sent one cover letter with a typo when I was on the market, and that school ended up making me an offer. I wouldn't stress.
Posted by: 1984 World Series Champion | Aug 30, 2017 5:52:53 PM
Mentioning the typo plants a flag on it. (I personally don't care about a single typo but I know others do.) Consider (1) changing a few other things in the letter as well and (2) resubmitting, stating in your cover email that an "updated" cover letter is attached, and that while the changes are not major, you want to be sure the committee has the most up to date copy of your materials. If you just sent them the cover letter yesterday, I would do (2) without (1).

Would it be possible to re-post this? The spreadsheet seems slim and we're getting close to the FAR submissions. Thanks very much!
Posted by: anon | Aug 28, 2017 12:04:49 PM
Can we get another thread going for questions/answers? This is just for committees. Thank you.
Posted by: anon | Aug 27, 2017 11:14:20 AM
Responding to a few questions here:
There is really no downside to applying directly and filling out the FAR. I would see the direct application as a sign of special interest.
At my school, being in the FAR gives you no advantage over a direct application. We will review all candidates.
We won't be calling people for interviews until late Sept. or early Oct. Keep in mind that we will have a ton of applications to look through, and we don't get access until Sept. 7.
We require direct applications before the interview, but we will review the FAR candidates and ask people to apply directly if we are interested.
Never give up hope. I only had 3 interviews at AALS the year I was hired. The school that actually hired me called me after the AALS when they had a surprise opening.
Posted by: AnonChair | Aug 26, 2017 9:10:33 PM
For state schools that require separate applications: will they still be able to review FAR forms and ask certain candidates to apply? Or are they unable to even consider applicants unless they independently complete a job application?
Posted by: anon | Aug 26, 2017 7:17:09 AM
I have done FAR multiple times so far. this is the first year it is so late. I started hearing from schools about 1-2 weeks after the FAR and everything was pretty much over by Sept 10 except for the top schools which were like Sept 20. The dynamics are different this year so I expect most school committee will meet on Sept 10, and ask people for more materials. They then won't decide on applicants until late September/early October I suppose, delaying everything two weeks.
There were years when I submitted direct applications instead of paying the fee. Schools still look at them, especially if you have a connection to a local school. I got interviews and requests for more info from direct applications. Especially when there is a formal application process as many state schools have.
If you are geographically limited or not really gunning for the very top schools, it makes little sense to have U of KY calling you up if you realistically can't go there. Alot of people say be in the FAR because momentum counts alot and I think that is true to some extent but really only at schools that are not pigeonholed by hiring needs and only at the top schools. I think the FAR makes it alot more complicated for everyone because i it is waste of money and time for many people who can't realistically "go anywhere" plus the perception of "momentum" encourages people to take up slots at schools they can't realistically go to. I know people who know they can't move because of spousal situations yet do bunches of FAR interviews they know they can't take just because of the perception it helps you get other jobs. It did not help any of them. I am guilty of this as anyone as I can't move but I think the whole process would be better if people only went to schools they realistically would move for. I decided last year that it was unfair for me to take up spots for other applicants for schools I can't go to so I canceled them. But I think that is a minority position because of the perception of momentum.
Apply direct if you are only interested in certain schools and/or have advisors willing to make calls to those schools. FAR only helps I think if you are a candidate for top schools or you are really in a position to go anywhere in the US. Or if money is no object.
I also think people underestimate the extent to which schools really are only hiring in certain fields. The list this year is populated by securities and business for most schools. If you are not that field it will be a tough market because even if you have Harvard Law Review most schools aren't going to care because they have specific hiring needs. That's another reason why the FAR Is overrated - unless you are a business person, you simply won't be considered for most jobs anyway.

My school likes to have offers out by Thanksgiving. Always has.
Posted by: AnonHiringChair | Aug 25, 2017 6:03:52 PM
Word to the wise: Be very wary of advice given here.
Example: "Most schools . . . want to have offers out by Thanksgiving."
Um, no.
Posted by: Marcus Neff | Aug 25, 2017 5:36:13 PM
First time with AALS process. I submitted for the first FAR distribution. The website says the forms will go out to schools on Sept. 7. About how long does it take schools to reach out to schedule interviews? ie, at what point do I give up hope?
Posted by: anothercandidate | Aug 25, 2017 2:21:14 PM
I'm on the hiring committee at my school and there are upsides to having the FAR be later. It gives schools more time to figure out their hiring needs before they invite candidates for interviews, and it gives candidates more time to place a piece for those who are submitting in the Fall cycle and wish to list that on the FAR form.
Posted by: anon | Aug 25, 2017 2:08:10 PM
That's very helpful, thank you.
Posted by: also aspiring | Aug 25, 2017 2:03:48 PM
Most schools realize that the best candidates get offers fast, so they want to have offers out by Thanksgiving. The timing of AALS this year makes that impossible. Thus, if you're interested in a school, I suggest you apply directly.
Posted by: anonprof | Aug 25, 2017 1:54:01 PM
Any advice--from hiring schools or otherwise--for how to balance direct applications with the FAR? On the one hand, those of us on the market want to make sure the schools not participating in the conference see our materials. On the other, I'd like to not incur any bad will by doubling up with the FAR and a direct application. Without the ability to see which schools are participating at the conference before direct application deadlines, what should I (we) do?
Posted by: also aspiring | Aug 25, 2017 1:44:52 PM
anonprof: I believe that you're reporting the facts accurately, but I don't understand why a late AALS conference would lead schools to forgo entry-level hiring. Why do schools care that much about a few weeks' difference? They'll still be able to finish the process well before the next academic year. (Many of the big hiring conferences in other disciplines don't take place until January.)
If timing really does matter that much, why not just solicit applications directly (e.g., by advertising on PrawfsBlawg), conduct screening interviews by Skype in September or October, and then conduct campus visits as usual?
Posted by: Candidate | Aug 25, 2017 1:43:25 PM
The $475 AALS fee is particularly unfair in such a lousy market.
Posted by: lawprof | Aug 25, 2017 1:21:37 PM
One of the thing REALLY hurting entry-level hiring this year is the AALS's mind-boggling decision to not hold the hiring conference until November. I know that has prompted MANY schools to just skip it and pursue laterals.
Posted by: anonprof | Aug 25, 2017 1:13:58 PM
Any thoughts on whether hiring will continue to decline this year? Seems like the market can't get much weaker. Or perhaps the strong stock market will entice more faculty to retire, creating more openings? (Unlikely, but one could hope...)
