What I hate even more is when they ask you to call back for a verdict. I'd made it through a second round of interviews for a job I really wanted and they said to call in so many days. When I did, it was a dear Jane response. I wish they had just mailed me a rejection like everyone else. Although, after two rounds, I guess the personal approach is really the better strategy business wise. It leaves the door open for them to come back to you if the first person doesn't work out.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Silence means security silence means approval
So we're in the process of hiring a new student assistant. The current leader at the midway point of interviews is... um.
Any of you seen the current season of Harvey Birdman? The episodes with Birdgirl?
Yeah, this candidate is Birdgirl. Overly eager, overly driven. Only not related to Phil, and not voiced by Paget Brewster.

No reason they can't still do that after a letter, especially if they do what dw suggests and go beyond just a form buh-bye.
I can understand the urge, from the employer side. When you've made a tough call between two people, by that point you can be pretty attached to them both, and it can feel really harsh to just send a letter. You want to try to soften the blow with the personal touch, and letting them know how close it was, etc. But while a phone call might make me feel better, it doens't take a lot of insight to realize that it's pretty hard on the unsuccessful candidate.

So sorry, Cash.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
