Another technique, Shapiro said, might be to ignore you for several days during the interviewing process -- they want to see if you'll send a scathing e-mail, she said.

She said the phone interview would take 10-15 minutes and I was on the phone for 30 with them. When that was done, they said they would be calling people the following week (this was on a Thursday.) Well, the whole next week came and is now ending with no word from them. I did send an e-mail to the lady I spoke with just asking if the position had been filled or if they were still setting up interviews, and I again expressed my interest in working there. I never got a reply or anything. I'm the kind that takes this as a "we don't want to talk to you" answer and am saying forget it and am moving on. I can't imagine them taking that long to call and set up interviews.

I can't imagine them taking that long to call and set up interviews. I did 2 interviews with that company that went well in my opinion and they promised me that I'd be contacted. I am taking this as a "go away, we don't want you" answer. I have another interview with another company today for Systems Support Engineer.

Would it be rude to call and ask the person who conducted the phone interview just what it was that I said that screwed me over for getting an interview? As far as qualifications and experience goes, I fell right in line with what they were looking for, so it's not that I was not qualified or over-qualified. It had to have been something I said that she didn't like and that was it for me. Oh well, Monster.com, here I come!!! :P Also, it's not like I need the work, I have a decent job but am looking for something with more room to advance...here there is none.
