Pool isn't empty, but hopefully it's getting shallow!

Moose-

Pool is still fat I think. As far as interviews go they interviewed three days per month since Jan. I would guess somewhere between 5 to 7 people per interview day are selected for the pool; approximately 50 people total. Subtract that from how many people have gone to class since then. I’m guessing mid 30s are left. But who knows.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

It would be nice to have an idea of how close you are getting to a class date. Problem is that the pool is competitive so there is now way to know. Doing the back stroke as long as it takes…

Theoretically you could be in the pool and never be called....

You are in the pool, I take it? How long have you been swimming?

Agreed, TT. Would be nice to know your place in the queue so you could plan accordingly (even approximately would help).

Among our 2/15 group, all great guys, we still can't crack the code for who got what letter or phone call. Complete mystery.

My strategy for the wait (not that it was all that long, I know) was the "jump-in-the-shower-when-you're-hoping-for-the-phone-to-ring" plan: I started another job, when I just couldn't put it off any longer, and of course the Atlas call came on Day 1 of Indoc! Thus ended my incredibly short RJ career...

Hang in there, swimmers. We'll keep the mojitos on ice for ya.

Anyone go to Vegas to meet the Atlas crew? I did and it was short and sweet. Good to at least meet someone from Atlas. Hopefully I will get that extra point so when they are going through the 4000 resumes they place mine closer to the top of the pile.

Although that may have been the case on some days, based on the numbers presented when I interviewed, as well a friend of mine in the last group, those numbers are a little high when it's averaged out.

Swimming since Jan 20. Two guys that interviewed that day started in March. 7 of the 12 that interviewed got the pool. 5 left in the pool from Jan 20. Don't know about people from the other two interview days in Jan.
