I would love to hear of more hiring. I have been told not to expect more calls from this window and they are not forming a true pool anymore. I guess that means that you can plan on having to reapply.
I would guess wait and see when next vacancy comes out. I hope for early jan but prob more like May thru July is more realistic.

Also i think first intvs were 14th and finish by 28th'ish. They get an answer in a few weeks yes or no. Not left hanging any more.
