I got... not hired.

Shocking, I know. But after a strange but otherwise generally positive interview in which I was basically told I'd be getting a call for a second interview, I did not, in fact, get a call. And after sending an email to get some kind of response, was told "we hired someone whose experience fit better", which frankly is what they all say. Maybe it's even true. Haven't even gotten anything from the efforts I made at BEA, so I have basically nothing to show for work-finding efforts.

Rock on. I won't make $10k this year.

Thanks. :)

I put out an email to a managing editor @ Macmillan to see if she knows if any divisions there would need translating.

Arg. So frustrating. Sorry.

Sorry to hear that.

I didn't get anything from the London Book Fair, although it might pay off to follow up.

If you got anyone's business card, decidedly follow up. If they give you a "don't have anything at the moment" just try again in a few months. Nagging can actually work ;) It has for me a few times.
