"This blog is highly biased on my n=1 experience. I am a Caucasian woman, married without children. I was asked about my marital status and the “moveability” of my husband at nearly all on-site interviews, and about children during half of them."
@cyrilpedia hey that’s @meikeesther with a really great article. Sent it to everyone I know.
@schoppik @meikeesther I love the "fit" section, it's something that you often learn with experience. The worst case scenario is not necessarily not getting the offer, it can be hell to end up at an institution where you dont fit.

and some lovely details, like this one "I found some comfort in bringing my own white board markers. I brought them initially because I wanted to be sure the markers would work, but they also provided some familiarity in the different situations and environments. It’s the little things that can give you a bit of a confidence boost." Also shared the piece widely.
@cyrilpedia @meikeesther I too brought my own markers (& water bottle).
