Well, it turns out my job search was fast. I put out 4 applications:
1. visiting assistant prof (temp job) position on the west coast that I figured I wouldn't get and wasn't worried about.
2. local community college that I figured I had a good shot at. they sent a letter informing me that the position had been cancelled due to budget, then called me to ask if I was still interested because they got the funding back. Too late, already committed to fall semester where I am.
3. community college north of here as a lark, and because my fiancee wants to move there (if we move). no word, no worries.
4. fed job that sounds really cool but for which I'm not sure I am qualified. Got the interview. Apparently nailed the intereview: was just offered the job which comes with a 34% raise over what I make now. Hmmm, move to DC; have shorter commutes for both of us; live closer to best friend and other friends; make much bigger $$ doing cool stuff? Yeah, I think I'll take it.
Woohoo!
So four apps and two intervies, one of which I had to turn down. One on-site interview, one job offer. That's a pretty good batting average I think. I am very proud of myself if you can't tell.
All's good in the 808 household. Now to start looking for a new place for June.
