to original poster: I interviewed for an internal job, met all the criteria to a t, had current solid relationships, cell phone numbers in my phone of those I'd be calling on etc, and still did not get position. Was told that I was the perfect candidate and then, landblasted. You never know. I have to believe that the person that received the job was a better fit than me. Do I really believe that.....well no, but I have to believe that there will be another better opportunity around the corner. Hang in there...your opportunity is out there. It just may take a little longer to find it.
