redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

That went quite well, I think. The woman I talked to was friendly and enthusiastic. She told me that the company probably won't need people right away, because they're waiting to get the okay from the clients on various projects. (Basically, they do documentation, white papers, etc. to order.) It was the sort of conversation that included questions like "You're a vi person, right?" and "Does Bruce still have the ponytail?" as well as giving me the chance to say that I would be quite happy to edit in Word, or other software if the client preferred, as well as on paper, and that I have lots of experience with Wikipedia.

The work would be from home, not in their office; she's not even near New York City herself, but near D.C., which explains why it was a phone interview. I asked about rates, and she told me a number (which I consider satisfactory) and said that was something to confirm with Dan (my original contact) or Ruth (who I think fills the role of H.R. there), one of whom will probably call me to follow up on our conversation. (Thus far, my interactions with them both have been by email.)
