From an e-mail from Hewitt received just now:

Unfortunately, we will not be continuing the interview process at this time. This decision should not be interpreted as a negative reflection upon your accomplishments, but rather the result of our particular needs.

Uh, huh. Sure. In our communication class in the MBA program, we learned how to write letters to soften the blow in certain circumstances, “ding letters” being one. Once you’ve written a couple, you start figuring out just how half-hearted they can sound. They’ve always got that “It’s not you, it’s me” feeling to them.

Somehow I can’t help but believe that it is actually me.
