Jobs w/ Mohave Comm. College (Kingman) competitive? (Phoenix, Maricopa: relocate, maintenance)

[angelaMS]

I've recently applied for a position with MCC and I'm wondering how tough my competition will be.

The position (non-faculty) requires a Masters degree + experience (which I have). I currently reside in the Phoenix metro area and would relocate if offered/accepted the position. Do they often look outside of the area to fill positions? Is MCC just as competitive as most of higher ed?

Thoughts? Insider input?

Thanks

I don't know about Mohave, but I do know a lot about the other community colleges. It is SOOOOO competitive!!! I have applied for years to get in to no avail. If another position opens up near me I may apply one last time. It's funny, every year or two that I applied I had more education and experience since the last application.

I don't see why they wouldn't take someone from Phx, it's not like taking someone from Alaska.

Yeah, I know Maricopa Community Colleges are super tough-like most higher ed! I feel your pain! I was hoping it was a different story with Mohave

I would say go for it, nothing to loose

The lower facility maintenance positions never paid well but I had heard the faculty where a good place to be.
