I applied online. The process took 7 months. I interviewed at Troy University (Troy, AL) in Jul 2012
Interview
I applied and finally heard back 6+ months after my application was submitted. Phone interviewed with search committee composed of current faculty. That was great. I could tell they were going to be a great team of colleagues. Was invited to campus interview. Met with department chair (clueless), associate dean (nice), vice chancellor (condescending), chancellor (nice), and interim dean (rushed). Offer was made pretty quickly after the campus interview (turns out that if you are brought in you pretty much have the job unless one of the above doesn't like you for some reason). The quick offer at that point was probably because the fall semester was starting very soon so they needed to fill the position immediately.

Question 1
What kind of resources would you need to conduct research?
I applied online. I interviewed at Troy University
Interview
The overall interview experience was generally positive. The camaraderie amongst the faculty was very apparent and the campus was beautiful. However, I was asked several person questions like whether or not I have kids and if I am religious or not. I was told that I would have been offered the position, but due to "budget constraints" the position was rescinded. What a let down.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Troy University (Dothan, AL) in Jun 2009
Interview
To transfer from one division to another, the interview process was simple, involving a panel by phone. All movement across divisional boundaries requires a background check as well these days. When I had first interviewed, as an outsider, I first submitted my CV and college transcripts, then gave a presentation to the faculty (conference-styled). I gave another presentation to administrative leadership in Troy, and then I waited for the acceptance letter. There is a lot of informality to the process with TROY, and most people in the decision-making chain like to talk casually about various topics. Building trust this way is therefore very important. If you come across too serious (ivory-tower), that can turn them off.
