The job in Portland called tonight!!! They received 150 applications...narrowed that down to 50 almost immediately...contacted 12 people to send in more materials...did phone interviews with 8 people...and are flying 6 people out for on-campus interviews...JUSTIN IS ONE OF THE SIX!!! Flying in 6 people is A LOT for this kind of thing so it's definitely not "in the bag" so-to-speak...especially since he's been warned that the competition is stiff what with having internationally recognized composers and all. HOWEVER, none of them have the teaching or performance background that he does so that will definitely work to his advantage. That husband of mine is smart though - he's not letting the desperateness to get out of Duluth cloud his judgement. He's flying in a day earlier than they asked him to in order to get a real sense of the area and the school and says that he won't take the position (assuming it's offered) unless it's something he genuinely wants - he's not going to take it just to get out of here. This is all VERY EXCITING!! He leaves on May 1st - HIS BIRTHDAY!!! Keep your fingers crossed and I will, as always, keep you all posted...
