With multiple interviews, you have the added stress of coordinating them all as you receive calls. Keep a clear and visible schedule, perhaps one you can fold and carry in your pocket everywhere you go. I kept a list on a folded piece of paper and on it, I had each interview day and left space between scheduled interviews not back-to-back yet so I could add others in open slots.
Keep all your important information on that sheet: 1) the times of each interview, listed in order; 2) the hotel name and room #; 3) the contact name and #; 4) the names of committee members; 5) and any questions or issues they want to talk with you about.
Think seriously beforehand about whether you do want to interview with every school you hear from. You may decide to decline an interview or two, which is fine. Some jobseekers have a rule that they won’t do more than six, or ten, or whatever. I managed to squeeze in many, many more than ten (I had a driver! that makes a huge difference), making sure to pack plenty of energy snacks and scheduling some major relaxation time after MLA to recover. If you do receive a lot of interview invitations and you’d like to go to them all, and you find your schedule is beginning to get packed, remain polite and good-humored but don’t hesitate to say that a time doesn’t work for you. You CAN tell the caller that you have openings at ___ and ____ if they happen to have openings then.
If you have so many interviews, all of which you really want to go to, consider bringing a partner, friend, or family member along to MLA, rent a car (or drive to MLA instead of fly), plan your driving routes, and have them drop you off and pick you up curbside. Of course, that may not be an option for everyone.
