Oh, and I should say this...by "apply" I actually did mean "apply." I'm taking my resume and an application to the place today, not going for an interview... I hope the interview will come soon.

Good luck with that Jason. What exactly would an Associate R&D Biologist at the National Center for Physical Acoustics do? Sounds pretty interesting.
Peace,
Patrick

Ok, I went by the University and dropped off an application and a resume (it's a University job), and then I took a resume to the NCPA. So if all goes as planned, I'll be happily employed there within a month...hehe..if it were only that simple...
Associate R&D Biologist:

Viel Glueck! or good luck. And if they accept applicants in the fall (after you get the job of course) let me know when I get back into the country, after all I'll be looking for a job when I get home - All the Best from one biology graduate to another

One biology grad to another huh? Cool.... what are you doing now?
I keep coming home (both days) and hoping to see a message blinking on my machine...but to no avail. I guess they feel like they can't be too eager to get me into the job...
I can't blame them.

They never are to eager, you kinda have to beat down their doors, check out the "Getting to know you post" I finally listed everything people here could possibly want to know about me so far... But I'm studying abroad for the TIMe being and I want to go into med-school when I get back, unfort. I'm wait listed, so I'm knocking on wood every day - maybe send me back some good Karma (LOL) but we shall see. If it doesn't work out, I'll be looking for a job with my B.S. in Bio when I get back, or whatever else comes up.

DAMNIT, you guys's Karma just isn't working...
Just kidding...maybe I WILL have to beat down their door. I'm willing to do that. Problem is, I don't know the protocol for this kind of thing...how long do I wait, what do I say, etc...
Anyone know or have suggestions?
And working all day defeats the possibility of just "dropping by."
Anywho...

Hey, I worked in an Entomology lab for a summer, and by calling to "confirm the review" or receipt of my application, I'm sure it really helped me land the internship. If it's been a week, it's TIMe to call for sure, and since it's Friday, you may just want to call them up, be very courteous, and leave a good impression with them over the weekend - and make sure you at least try to speak with a decision maker if you are speaking with a secretary, but they can be helpful too - by putting your file on top, etc. so make sure you are always nice on the phone. Hope that helps man, and good luck once again,
WBB

I'll definately do that....when it's Friday...
Because it isn't Friday here yet... Tomorrow I'll call (from work). That's odd to me. I've never gotten a job while I already have a job. But I'll be all nice and all on the phone. Problem is, I think the guy is Asian, and I'm not sure how well he's going to speak my language, so I might have trouble on the phone with him. Well, I'm going to call anyway.. tomorrow.
Thanks for your help and support!

So I called Mr. Lee and he said that they would start calling people in a week or two. Actually, what he said was that they'd call me in a week or two, but I think he was meaning it in a general sense, not that he was in fact intending to call me specifically, but that I was part of a larger list, and names on that list would be called. So I do stand a chance of being called.
Everyone still hope that I get called. Damnit, I'll be in Cali when they are trying to call. I'll have to leave a good message on my machine. DAMNIT.

That of course assumes that they will be trying to call me. And you know what happens when you assume. (You make an ass out of Uma Thurman.)
