Job announcement -- University of South Carolina

[Elisabeth Elliott]

Dear Alex,

Here is another job announcement that just was posted to SEELangs.
It's probably not what you have in mind, but it might make a good job
to have for a year or two while you apply for other positions.  If
you do decide to apply, I think that you should word your cover
letter such that you can communicate that in some respects you are
over-qualified for the position, but given the current job market,
blah, blah, blah, this position seems very exciting.  Of course it
shouldn't sound as condescending as this, but I think you get the
idea.

Best,
Lis
