I've finally made it to face-to-face-interview stage with one of my job prospects. The telephone interview went well, and they actually liked my writing assessment. Two other companies didn't like the writing assessments I did for them - one said "not enough quotes," one said "not enough graphs," so I was beginning to think I'd gone rusty.
The in-person interview will probably happen at the end of the month, and the recruiter is being very helpful in prepping me for it. The company is based in New York, but I'd get to work from home and would travel to New York once a quarter or so for a day at the office, which by train is a breeze and less stressful than flying.
And if this one doesn't work out, my resume has been put in with a bid for a 5-year government contract with the Library of Congress to do editing and writing, also in a medical capacity. Since this other company, which is based in Ohio, isn't submitting the bid until the end of June and then has to wait to see if they get the job, I'm not obligated to wait with them or even take the job if they get the bid, since I may find something else by mid-summer.
Something of a toss-up - work with the Library of Congress as a government contractor, but have to trek out to DC everyday or work from home writing my heart out about medicine. There's a thinker...
