i'm sure i'll keep posting here but thanks to all you guys for the advice, moral support, and at the very least, entertainment over the last few months of job searching hell!

for statistical purposes:

1. it's a small nonprofit
2. i applied through an online application that was pretty unfussy
3. i had 1 phone interview, 2 in person interviews, and a short take-home work assignment
4. no one ever gave me their business card
5. i applied in early may, the interview process started in early june

anything else?


I thought you were already working?

yes, i was working and looking for a job at the same time. i'm moving, although i'd probably be looking for a new job regardless.

Inquiring minds want to know...
What I REALLY want to know is if he had to argue his way into the interview...
