Okay, you tempted me and I clicked on the link.  Two issues for me - one, I have no clinical experience and two, I have no sales experience.

I did find another possibility though, and if I could get them to agree to let me work from home I'd apply.

The application pages have no place to submit a cover letter, so I'll have to find another way to pitch my telecommuting proposal. 

I have a few personal contacts @ Cochlear, so I may approach them.  Cochlear seems to be a very employee-friendly place, so you never know.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

I agree!  You should go for it.  They have people with CI's representing them, why not a person with a Baha?  What do you got to lose?  ;)

Okay, so I did send an email to one of my "people" @ Cochlear (Ken, it was Kara) and didn't hear what I wanted to hear - no pun intended  :D

Apparently the position for the territory manager would require relocation to someplace in the Midwest other than Illinois; most likely SW Missouri.  In addition, I would have to have both clinical experience and sales experience.  Neither is in my background.

As for the BAHA job, she agreed that I am very well-suited for it, but it would require a move to Colorado.

In other words, keep looking closer to home, Jan  ::)

Can't blame a girl for trying.  Thanks for your encouragement.

Good for you for making the contact. The thing is you never know what contact will know someone who knows someone else whose sister-in-law's nephew's next door neighbor has a job opening that is just what you need. Or maybe Kara will talk to someone else at Cochlear and they will reconsider the telecommunication angle. No harm in thinking positive!

SW Missouri would probably be the Springfield area, in case anyone else is interested in the Cochlear position. Branson is way southwest, but not much of an urban area.
