The East Coast - West Coast Conundrum

If you are from either coast and are interviewing on the opposite side of the country, it's really important that you make clear that you are willing to move. There is a prejudice - especially in the West Coast to East Coast direction - that applicants may not be serious about a cross-country institution.

Don't be afraid to come out and tell your interviewer that you would like to try the other coast - experience something new. Or if you have family in the institution's area mention that. Institutions want to know that you are serious about them before making an offer.
