Guide To Successful Searches - Search Delayed Letter

SAMPLE SEARCH DELAYED LETTER

Dear    :

I am writing to provide you with an update on our search for an assistant professor. Because our new dean has asked us to complete a program review before extending employment offers, our search is on temporary hold. We expect to complete our review and resume the search process at the end of June.

I apologize for any inconvenience our delay may have caused you.

Sincerely,
October 1, 2004
