This is not quite what you're asking, but seeing there are no replies yet regarding the whoishiring thread I will include my anecdote detailing my not getting hired (or even an interview). I haven't since applied for any jobs through the monthly whoishiring threads. I am a fresh college graduate. The job posting seemed appropriate for someone like me in my current situation (and was the only one in any whoishiring thread I felt was a great fit and not merely a good fit). I did a six-month internship in the same domain, using many of the same technologies as requested for the job. A perfect fit and the obvious next step, I thought. I would be doing what I had already measurably succeeded at, while also being able to use some of my public speaking experience I gained in school to present the modeled data I would be working on. I submit the application, noting all of this. I hear nothing back. A week later, I follow up with the email listed in the post. Still nothing back. I simply assumed they filled the position, however... I see them post again the subsequent month in the whoishiring thread, still hiring. I do not get it.
