Thanks for the update. I do hope you get what you want out of the whole thing. It will be a long 12 days! Do you have other interviews scheduled for the time being?

I will say, I fell in love with the campus, and the building this department is located in. They have reclaimed an area of downtown from when the port used to be really busy and have adapted and renovated a bunch of old buildings. It was just beautiful. (And the office this position will have has a view of the port, the opera house, and Rainier.)
I wonder.....
Your description of the office sounds like a position that a friend of mine left about 20? months ago. And your post could have been written by her when she interviewed. I REALLY hope that this is not the same position!

Knee Deep in Water Chloe - Other interviews have dried up, which is a bit depressing, at the same time, it might also be for the best. This is obviously the position I want most, and being a director level position, the hiring process in long. If I were being moved forward in the other interviews, I might get to a point where I would have an offer from elsewhere. If I refused that offer, I'd lose my UE eligibility, but I couldn't, in good conscience, accept an offer knowing I would instantly jump if this position were offered to me. I am still making sure I apply for at least 3 jobs a week, and I haven't refused any interview, so I'm in good shape for now.
The Walk of the Penguin Mich - On some level, that's not actually possible, as this is a brand new position. On another level, this position and a second position used to be rolled into one position- but at a much lower level- there used to be a program manager who assisted the academic director and managed the professional staff. There is now an assistant to the director position (filled this summer) and I am interviewing for a director level position. Which means I think there are enough changes that even if this were the "position" your friend left, I'm confident that it's not really the same position.
So, on what seems like a good note to me, the HR director (who is in the position I am interviewing for on an interim basis) sent me an email this morning with some follow up to one of the questions I asked her- follow up that had not been specifically requested or promised, just more information that she had thought of yesterday when we spoke. If I wasn't a serious contender, there would not have been that follow up, right?

Interview went well. Will hopefully know more late this week/early next week. The academic director has to talk to the other candidates this week (the time choices I was given were this afternoon and tomorrow morning), and is meeting with the staff tomorrow afternoon. They are trying to move quickly at this point.

sorry @tbird (and here I am disappointing you again). I was apparently not the only candidate to make it to the 4th round. They say they want to move quickly, so I am hoping to hear this week. Certainly won't hear before this afternoon when the academic director meets with the staff.

They really liked me, and they hope very much I will apply for other positions on their campus. They think I have a lot to bring. However, they decided on a "different direction" for this position.
Here's the thing- this was a stretch job for me. It was director level. I have a little less than 3 years at manager and 6 months as an administrator, so full director level was definitely a stretch. I was thrilled to make it through all 4 levels of interviews, so there we are.
