Many professors are wrongly interviewed. Many of panel interview look like they have no experience in interviewing the professors. They run the interview like new graduates applying the jobs. They don't even look at or trying to understand the long CV of the professors. Never ask question what the professors have done in his career! or in last past 5 years or since 2008,....that will be the most stupid question!!!. The panels must share the knowledge and experience with the professors, the interviewer should bench mark them and assess what the university can use them for the best to achieve university's mission in short period. If the VC and the board of directors and the dean have clear vision, they know what to do with the professors. All professors in the universities should be the excellence one. FOR ME THERE ARE STILL NO LEADERS IN THE UNIVERSITIES IN MALAYSIA. THEY ARE STILL THE MANAGERS.

Finding the best candidate for a faculty position involves much more than posting the open position and evaluating curricula vitae. You must ensure that the candidate will work well with other faculty members and administrators. It’s even more important to assess a potential new professor’s ability to interact with and teach students. Carefully structuring the interview process will help you choose the candidate who not only possesses an outstanding academic background, but also is effective and engaging in the classroom.
