D. A select number of applicants from among the applicant pool are chosen to participate in a phone or Zoom interview with the search committee. Prior to the phone interview, the dean emails these documents to the candidates who will receive a phone interview: EMU Mission, Vision and Values statements; Life Together: Commitments for a Community of Learning; a link to the Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective (Mennonite Church USA); a link to the Shared Convictions of Global Anabaptists (Mennonite World Conference); and the Personal Statement of Faith and Life form. The candidate is advised to be prepared to converse generally about any of these materials during the phone interview. The candidate is asked to return their response to the Personal Statement of Faith and Life to the dean’s office no later than two weeks after the interview. Best practices indicate that each phone interview be as similar as possible to the others by following the same interview format and asking the same questions. A discussion should take place immediately after each interview. After the phone interviews, the applicants who participated in a phone interview are asked to submit the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of three or four references and are told their references will be contacted soon.
