As the postdoc uniform notification date rears its head, I'm curious how one prepares for it and whether there are things to keep in mind? This is what I have so far:
1) Take the day off
2) Have rank-ordered list ready; maybe even write down next to each site how long you can hold an offer (most sites have told me 4 hours max)
3) If 1st choice doesn't call and you receive offer, call 1st choice and ask where you rank?
4) If 1st choice doesn't extend an offer, can wait on 1st choice or call 2nd choice for an offer?
- Can only hold 1 offer at a time
5) Once you've accepted an offer, call and email all other sites to remove yourself from consideration
Questions:
1) Any potential hiccups to be aware of?
2) What else was helpful to know or do that day?
Thanks!!
