Personal Observation

I have been gone many job interviews. I have a very personal "observation". If you are being interviewed with libraries from the coasts (East Coast and West Coast; big cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, etc.),  you would find yourself with a group of search committee members who in general do not have too much patience and ask the questions in either a very harsh voice or in a "rush". It seems that they just want to get it over. You just are the unfortunate person in the room. On the contrary, if you are being interviewed with the Midwest or not very populated small town, you will find your experience would be much pleasant. People in general take their time and the experience would be more professional, in my opinion.
