03/09/2007: "Validation"
Tuesday last, I got an unexpectant surprise. An email was received from the philosophy department of a small liberal arts school in Iowa (yes--Iowa) requesting a phone interview. That brings my application to interview ratio to 1:6, very high given my present cirsumstance and the norms of the profession. Of course, I spent most of the past few days beating myself for not having taken advantage of, and not overcoming the disadvantages of, the obvious benefits and drawbacks of the medium; and of course, I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to get the job. However, given the details of the job I'm pretty sure I have a chance at making it to the 'second-round,' the elusive "on-campus" or "flyout" interview. This is a good thing.
It's not quite over yet, everyone.
UPDATE (3/15): I got the campus interview. In my best Sally Field: "They like me . . ."
