I got a rejection letter today from the previously mentioned Indexing/Abstracting Librarian job at the National Security Archive. I love when I get rejected without an interview, especially for a job that I know I would have kicked ass at and despite being told I was "well-qualified." I'm not going to lie to you and say that if I cannot even score an interview for an Indexing/Abstracting Librarian when I 1.) was an indexer/abstractor for 5 1/2 years and 2.) am now a librarian, that it doesn't hurt. Because it does and it makes me mad.
On the bright side, I got an email and have a "phone conference" set up for Monday morning. This is with a law firm in Boston. At least I think it's in Boston. The advertised opening was in Boston but her wording in the email said something like she wanted to "further discuss opportunities" with me, which makes me wonder. Like when Ernst & Young called me and said that I wouldn't be good as a Business Researcher but would do well as a Network Associate. Umm, no, I wouldn't. Anyway, this woman who emailed me is apparently located in New Jersey. The firm has like 20 offices so if they want to hire me somewhere else, I'd probably take it. Except maybe Albany. Or Tallahassee. Or Tokyo.
