Thanks everyone for the jobma. Since this was my first interview from the interviewee side, pretty much ever, I'm not really sure how to guage it. I got the interview in response to a resume I uploaded to a firm website, and not for any specific job opening although I indicated a strong preference for health care law.

On the plus side he asked me to register for the FL bar, ASAP, and mentioned "short list" and "in-person interview." On the minus side, I have no idea if that's how he talks to all the candidates or what.

All in all, it could have gone a lot worse.

That sounds good to me, Wolfram. When it comes to job hunts, "short list" is one of my favorite phrases. I hope it comes through for you, if you want it.

That sounds very positive, Wolfram. Way to go.

So follow up hivemind question: anyone know anything about the FL bar?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Which one? THere are several. Specially in South Beach.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Wolfram, I know very, very vaguely from a friend who took the FL bar (it was his 4th exam in search of his 4th membership -- he was crazy that way). IIRC from his comments, FL takes the fitness part very, very seriously -- they ask for lots of references, things like that.

I also have vague memories that about 10 years ago, someone sued the FL bar over membership. Seems the bar rejected the plaintiff for membership because the plaintiff had had a mental health problem, received treatment, something along that line in the past.

Sorry, it's all very fuzzy, but it may help.

David, you know Phil is on The E! Hollywood Hold'Em show, right?

I saw him! Now I am only 1 link away from every unbathed young thing in Hollywood.

Thanks Fred. I just saw on the website that the application fee is $1300. Non-refundable. That's a lot of money to shell out after only one seemingly successful phone interview. Shit.

Would you want to move to Florida if you didn't get this job, Wolfram? Or are you kind of looking everywhere in the country?

That's a lot of money, Wolfram. If they offerred you the job and you hadn't applied for the bar yet, would you be totally screwed?
