One down, one to go

[deathpixie]

So, the Legal Aid interview happened. It went pretty well - I was straightforward and clear, and they responded positively. Downside is they couldn't give me a definite pay rate - just the range, depending on experience, of $29-44K. Not exactly helpful in my decision-making process. I was upfront about the other interview, and told them I wouldn't be able to make a decision until after that, which may go against me - they want someone asap, and hope to have a decision by Friday. Bit of a contrast to the nine weeks of waiting here. *wry*

Now for the nervous churning in my stomach to go away. And to do an extra hour of work to make up for the abyssmal transit karma that had me back here late. :P

Clarification edit: The job specs have the pay rate at $29-44. I asked for something more specific today, and got told they couldn't give that to me until it had been worked out according to my experience. No job offer today, but they did say they'd have a decision by Friday, and would want someone in the position by next week or so. The pay discussion was hypothetical.

Hmm. They extended an offer and gave such a broad salary range? That doesn't sound too good. Or do you mean that an official offer won't be given until Friday and this talk was just tentative?

It may go against you, but it's also a good thing in your favor: it shows them you know what you want, what you're worth, and you're not desperate. If they're serious about you, they'll hire you. If not, their loss and in the end, you're better for it because you won't end up in a job that might not acknowledge what you're worth!
