Great - now I'm craving Arby's and Ryan took the car to work today.
Okay - I've been keeping this pretty mum, but I had a really good interview Wednesday (by phone, of course). It was a total surprise interview from an unexpected source. (I mean, yes I intentionally applied there, but I didn't think for a second I'd get considered - I just wanted an excuse to send out my new cover letter.)
I don't know that I'll get the job, but I did seem to have a good rapport with potential boss and the staff. In fact, when I called the assistant back yesterday to ask a follow-up question, she sounded thrilled to hear from me and then said "oh! so-and-so is here and they want to talk to you, too!" and handed the phone to the other staff member, who wanted to make sure I had her direct phone line in case I had questions. I mean, she didn't have to do that, right? If they knew they didn't want me, they wouldn't both have talked to me, right?
Anyhow, now it's a waiting game. I know I was the second of three planned interviews, but the third isn't scheduled until mid-March. I'm going to call in a week when the bar exam is over, though, and see if I can interest them in an in-person interview. (I have another excuse to call, too, since there's a particular project they were telling me about that's fascinating that will be wrapped up by then and they've already invited me to call back and find out how it all went.)
It's a total surprise and in an area of law I'd never considered focusing on - but now that I'm thinking about it, it sounds like something I really might enjoy.
Anyhow, I know this is all vague and all, but crossed fingers and all that....
