10 Minute TT Faculty Interview

I applied for a TT faculty position and they asked for a 10 minute phone interview. Isn't that very short? What questions could they cover in that time frame?

Update:

The call really lasted 10 minutes. I could have kept them on longer if I elaborated more. However, they didn't ask for clarification or anything so I guess that's good, I don't know. They asked:    


How I would teach a specific course    

My research agenda    

My teaching philosophy

Then, at the end I asked three questions. It seemed super short and I feel like they really didn't learn a whole lot from me. But, we will see. I sent a thank you email. Now it's the waiting game.

It's short, but I've had 15-25 minute conversations. 

Sometimes the committee just wants to gauge how well you communicate in person, and see exactly how you talk about your teaching/research. 

I would plan for very succinct answers (elevator talks) on your teaching and research, and think of some succinct examples to support them.
