NOTES:

Wow...they scheduled interviews already? Too bad--I really liked this job.

Is it odd that's there's only one acknowledgement and one interview scheduled when the deadline passed two weeks ago?


 * It's always a good idea to keep in mind that you only get a partial view here. Not everyone on the market uses the wiki or updates it in a timely manner. It's always possible that there are more out there who haven't posted yet.
 * I think it's likely that (1) the interview is a preliminary skype or phone interview, not an MLA interview (2) that application was received well before the deadline. The postmark date was two weeks ago, they have probably only just received most of the apps...
 * Original poster here: thanks for a reason to keep hope alive!
 * to clarify--it's a phone interview, not skype (thank goodness). From what I know, they're conducting 6 of these and are not going ot the MLA to conduct further interviews. I, too, was surprised they were so quick, but there it is.
 * They will schedule six or they have scheduled six interviews?
