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.
