After reading the last thread, with people stating that they have impressive publication records, but no offers, I'm wondering if people who got interviews/offers at the teaching schools would be willing to post similar info. Like:

Area:Social
Current Position: Grad
Current Institution Rank: Top 100
Ph.D. Degree: 2010
Total Pubs: 11

For teaching schools, that may be the more telling stat than pubs or pedigree…

Teaching achievements definitely matter more for SLACs than publications. Me:

Anonymouse, we must be going after the same jobs.

Area: Developmental/Cognitive
Current Position: Postdoc
Ph.D. Degree: 2008
Total pubs: 11 (5 first author pubs)
On-site Interviews: 7 (2 Masters-granting universities, 2 R1s, 3 small liberal arts colleges)
Status: Offered a visiting professor position before holidays, but declined; waiting to hear back from 2 R1s and still planning to interview at 2 more small liberal arts colleges
Sections as instructor of record: 9
Different courses taught: 2 (1 was a grad course)

I attended a small liberal arts college for undergrad, so I think a lot of schools appreciate that perspective. I served as grad coordinator for a large service course while I was a grad student.

Total pubs: 5

Sections as sole instructor: 28
Phone interviews: 3 (all SLACs)
On-site interviews: 2
Offers: 1 (was told I'd be offered the second, but the funding was pulled)

I also attended a SLAC as an undergrad and agree with what other have posted. Grants and pubs are nice for SLACs but they want to know that you can teach and that you understand what SLACs are all about.
