California Community Colleges (CCC) Market

[California Dreaming]

Haven't seen any updates so far this year on the California Community College (CCC) market. Anyone have anything to share? Here's what I know:

Long Beach Community College - first interviews were back in mid February. Haven't heard anything since. Also, seems like their search from last year failed. 

Ventura College - first interviews were Friday, April 7th, and second, final interviews were Tuesday, April 11th. They look to be hiring for two positions, one at Ventura and the other at Oxnard. Not sure they hired anyone last year, either. 

Santa Rosa Junior College - Petaluma - first interviews were Thursday, March 30th; second interviews were yesterday, Thursday, April 20th; final interviews on Monday, May 1st.  Their search from last year also didn't seem to work.

So far I've got nothing to add to this. Waiting pattern here. What's your feeling on the failed searches last year?

Not sure about what happened last year at places that did not hire. Could be a combination of things, like: offers made to folks recruited elsewhere; funding shortages; no consensus among committee/admin. Hard to say, really. It's such a nebulous process!

Yeah, it's hard to say what goes on in the second/third rounds. A lot depends on the individual institution. I thought I was in the running for SRJC, but not so sure, since
it's May 1st and all I've heard from them is crickets.

Anyone know if the person hired at SRJC has prior CCC experience? Trying to gauge my chances in the CCC market as an outsider.
