Hellphone Update

Not long after yesterday's rant my mystery caller called back! I played voicemail tag with him yesterday and today but finally got to speak with him a little bit ago. Guess what? He offered me an interview! Hooray!

And then....

Him: So when do you plan to relocate here? You're in D.C. now, right?

Me: Right. And I graduate in about five weeks so I plan to move as soon as possible after that.

Him: *pause* Oh. So you're not a member of the bar?

Me: No, not yet. Does that change things?

Him: Yes, actually. I need someone right away. But be sure and give me a call once you're a member of the bar.

Me: Absolutely. I'll do that.

*click*

Ok, so that's obviously not a verbatim transcript, but that was the gist. So the job search continues but with one less option to consider. I mean, if I do end up taking that state's bar exam (rather unlikely at this point) and/or if I'm still looking come November, I'll definitely give him a call, but for now I'll be focusing on other options—ones that might include a real job offer prior to taking the bar.

Oh well. At least I no longer have to wonder what might have been.
