Would the job require relocation from wonderful Williamsburg?

Yes it would. I'd be off to Harrisonburg, but I love mountains, so I don't mind.

I finally heard back from them today after a few emails, but I guess it was the holiday season. I've got an interview with two of their writers to see if I'll pass muster! AND I heard back from them the same day as an interview in Richmond to be a translator for insurance claims. The interview went well over all. I could have answered some questions better, but I can translate claims for them in two languages easily, and potentially a third, so I feel that I have earned the right to be a little confident. I'll post when I know more. Hopefully I'll start earning maybe 60 tanks a year (that's how I measure my salary).

Sounds like your new home will need a large walk-in closet!

Once I pay off Ye Olde Studentte Loannes!

So, I got the job translating insurance claims! I start Monday and it's fulltime. But there's no job security. I can quit at any time for any reason; no need to give my two weeks notice. However the company reserves the same right. I wouldn't expect them to find any reason to fire me, but I'm continuing through the rather lengthy Rosetta Stone interview, since I could switch jobs without having to feel bad for ditching the insurance company.

I had a good phone interview with R.S. today (so scary, I felt like I was rambling and I couldn't read anyones face to see how I was doing) and they later called to set up an in-person interview (this application process started in early November), but of course I'll be working fulltime next week. So I'll have to try and beg time off. An excellent start

I like the idea of working in Richmond for that company and I don't like jumping between jobs, but I'm afraid of saying no to Rosetta Stone and then being downsized or let go with no notice!
Anyway, I just wanted to give a small update and let off some of this nervous energy

Wonderful news, TKW! If you don't mind so sage advice, "keep your power dry!" I went to school (VCU/MCV) and lived for about 5 years in Richmond. I loved it! But it sounds like the insurance job is just a pay check and that can be alright!

If Rosetta Stone offers you more of lucrative positon go for it. I've had some time in the valley and life there is good. Your have life by the horns and you may be to young to remember the Nissan commerial that said, 'Enjoy the ride!' That is worth remembering!
