adjunct hiring question
I’m currently trying to get an adjunct instructor position for Fall 2026 at a local community college. My friend currently works this same position, but they’re graduating and defending her dissertation soon. Because of my friend leaving, the hiring manager asked them to have me submit an application to their portal ASAP and to have me email the hiring manager as soon as I finished the application. It’s been over a week since submitting that application and since I’ve emailed the hiring manager, but neither me nor my friend who currently works there have heard anything. I sent a follow up email a week after submitting the application, so about two business days ago, and still have received no response. Is this normal or should I start thinking about other postings?
