The hiring/interview process is a nightmare. Put in a lot of work for what is essentially a graduate level assignment given last minute along with no guarantee that your idea won’t be used but you won’t be given a chance to apply or try out the role. Preinterview tasks for professionals who have been in the field for decades is a bit insulting. Some of the admin/professional roles outside of teaching are certainly interesting and seem to have merit but the hoops they drag candidates for is a mess.
