Never have gotten good at running these damn computer things...
I applied for a job with the local city gov't IT dept when I was looking a couple of years back. Had multiple interviews, things looked good. Then nothing. Finally, after I'd taken a new position with a different company and been working there for almost a year, I got a note in the mail from the city thanking me for my interest, and that I wouldn't be a good fit for their department.
Private sector is a whole different ballgame. Self-Employed is even better.
