Did you get an email from the search committee? Or an automated request from interfolio? Thanks.

Just a wild guess here, but I wouldn't be surprised if they reached out to 20 or 30 people earlier this summer, encouraging them to apply. I figure all of those people will be asked to provide letters, out of courtesy if nothing else, and probably another 10-20 folks they didn't recruit. But they aren't gonna do 40 zoom interviews. Probably more like 10, or 15 at the outside. It's a lot to schedule in the middle of holidays, quarter winding down, etc. Then fly out 5.

Is it typical to reach out to so many as 20 or 30? That seems like an awful lot

It's totally normal. And you can expect ~30-50% of those folks to actually apply.

Have zoom invites gone out? Sent in letters and they said they would be doing zoom interviews in early December but haven't heard anything since.

I hope so but no I haven't heard anything so I'm assuming I'm out of the running. This is my third short list where I got asked for letters and didn't make it to the next round...vs one where I had 2 different people write i got a campus interview (no offer yet)...think I need to rethink my letter writers ugh...the famous person I know seems to not have written a very effective letter I guess..

Of course it could have nothing to do with letters, and just fit or overall preference of the committee... but also I've read some terrible rec letters by famous sociologists. One essentially said "I barely know this person, not sure what to say other than that the few interactions with them were fine." I've been wondering if I should tell that person so they know never to use that letter again...

Yes, you should tell that person. They might not know
