I hate it when that happens. It's like someone is really bad at data entry. You're probably were qualified, but didn't get it because your app got lost.

I applied for a job when I relocated some 6 years ago. Called in for a second interview. While in the second interview, my phone buzzed for an email. Got out to the car and had received a “thanks but no thanks” email from the company while I was in the interview!!

How many ME jobs did you apply to before landing your current position?

Do you typically apply to jobs that you have are missing some of the qualifications for? For example: Is it acceptable to apply for jobs where you have 70% of the qualifications? Where is the % threshold of not getting considered?
