After a year of trying and six interviews, I finally was accepted to be a meteorologist at the Blacksburg, VA NWS office! :dance:  I'll be starting around the first week of July, which means I'll be moving over the next several weeks and may not be around here as much during that time.  Thank you for all your moral support as it's been a long journey for me.

Congratulations!  :biggrin:

Thanks, everyone! :)  I can't even begin to tell you how much of a relief this news is for me after such a frustrating time in my life.  I'll be heading to Blacksburg for a few days next week to rent my new apartment.  Later in June, I'll actually move with my stuff from WV to there.

I was approved and cleared from all background security checks today.  My first day of work is officially set for July 6.

The best part about NWS? You make good money from the very beginning. I think you'll probably get a G5 level 3 roughly when you start...almost twice as much money as a starting level TV job pays (and quite a bit more than AccuWeather....) but congrats!

Probably will be working somewhere near Silver Spring in the coming years, although with my major, I could end up in Ethiopia, or someplace where Flowmaster exhausts aren't illegal like they are in Virginia  B)
