I think Dan has a great idea there.  Why don't we try to surface some
empirical data of our own by posting information on the schools where
recent candidates for positions in your department came from.  It should
probably be kept to junior positions, since the factors in hiring seniors
are somewhat different.

This shouldn't be taken as an exercise in creating despair among those
who aren't in programs at the top 3 schools.  After all, this wouldn't
show who's being interviewed at colleges that don't have graduate programs
in sociology (and thus, no Socgrad members), or who's going into non-
teaching jobs.  But it might produce some interesting results.

I'd go first except that our junior search was called off this past year.
Before that happened, an interview had been scheduled with someone from
Berkeley.
