I'm sorry people, but one job posting != one job opening. That position was taken before it was even posted. Posting the job is purely a legal formality. There is either an internal candidate already identified or there is a h1b candidate who needs their work authorization. Either way, that job was never going to be yours regardless of your qualifications.
