First pitch

Well, got my first call for an interview…in my desired field…very near the DC area. This is exciting for two reasons (Three, sir!) …Um, yes, three reasons.

One, if I get the job, I’ll get to live in a location I really like, doing the job I really want to have.

Two, even if I don’t end up with the job, the fact that a school in an area like that would even notice me gives a sense of hope that the other places I’ve applied for might notice me and call as well.

Three, just getting called for an interview at all (especially in my field of interest) after getting nowhere for the past…well, more than a year now, is plain exciting. (Well, I shouldn’t say I’ve gotten “nowhere”, but I mean, just in terms of finding work.)

I’m scheduled to interview late next week, so we’ll see what happens. Could hear back from some of the other places in that time, too, since some of them aren’t scheduled to go through applications until early August. I’ll keep you posted.
