Buffalopilot, getting that email doesn't guarantee that you are getting an interview. I sent my resume in on April 1, got that same email on April 18 and chose the last interview date of the choices they gave me, and that was yesterday. No call, no other contact, just total ignore.

I think the problem with me was that the first question was "We're currently hiring people who can start within 3 weeks of interviewing, is this you?" or something to that effect. I had PLAINLY put an availability date of July on my resume and they last day they gave me for a possible interview was May 30th, so there was no way I could do that. Told them so in the return email that I wouldn't be available until the 1st week of July since I am on active duty until 30 June, and then I got ignored.

I wish you the best, and maybe I'll be reapplying in the future (think I probably have to wait 6 months, right), but for right now I am pursuing other options. Looking into Law Enforcement in my local community.
