If my writing was acceptable, I'll have another inteview with them next

week. That's their timeline. I feel like if I rush it, they'll just discard my application. They seem pretty set with the pace they're working at. If I did end up getting an offer, it would be worth it. The position is virtual with some travel required, but no travel now due to Covidsux. I'd get to use my Spanish in this job as well. A better fit in general than the other job, but the other job is something I could do for a while. It's work I've done before and work I was good at.

Along these lines, have these jobs told you when they'd want you to start? -- dans93 10/05/2020 2:51PM
