TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
My last round of interviews was for a job that I applied for in February. I
had a phone interview in late March, and my first in-person interview was in
early April. They are still interviewing, to my knowledge. I interviewed for
another position for a large corporation, and they said that the process
never happens faster than 3-4 weeks for them. I was asked to submit my
resume for a contract position, and a month later they haven't put it on the
front burner.
All I'm saying is, be prepared for the process to take a long time. Better
to interview early and ask them to wait for you then to wait too long.
And no, I would never recommend you bail out of a contract early, especially
one that short. Keep in mind, it is a contract. I don't know what the
ramifications would be of you leaving early, but don't count on using them
as a reference.
