It's been a week.
The phone interview went well.
The next day, Tuesday, I had another panel interview with an outfit here in town, just five minutes away. That interview also went very well and they said they'd like to have a decision in the next two weeks.
Yesterday I wrote a followup letter for the people in the Monday phone interview. I like them, I like their company, the job and the location all seem very appealing. I asked a couple people to proof my letter and I heard back from them this morning.
Alongside the replies from my proofreading friends, I found a message from the internal recruiter at the company who conducted the phone interview on Monday. They said they'd be in touch within a week and they kept their word.
Their word is "We would like to move forward with you. Do you have time tomorrow to chat?"
This is the most preferred potential employer of the three that I've interviewed with to this point.
I am so stoked!
