That's kind of odd. Their answer was much more specific than most
companies give. Mostly they're vague in their answers, such as, "You're
not right for the company," or, "We don't believe we can fully use your
talents," or some such rot.

They realised Andrew was trying hard and he actually received a personal
email back so that they 'could' be more specific, (you know, in a way that
might help him with other job applications).
That's what I think anyway.

Well, I emailed them and got back the same line; "other candidates have
a skillset that is a better match".
At this point I can't decide whether they're just inundated with
high-grade candidates, they're scaling back their recruiting, or they
rejected me on some superficial criterion such as distance or
availability. (They claim it's not the latter.)
I might try one last time, but I doubt my begging will get me far...

DON'T reply to their email... CALL THEM!
Even if you just get a hold of the wrong department... start chatting it
up with those guys! Be friendly with them and, if they like you, you've
got an immediate advantage over anyone else who's applying! (Many
companies, including my own, offer cash incentives if an employee
recommends a friend who ends up getting hired, so there's good reason
for them to recommend good people).

Don't you go to meetings with your Counterstrike clan?
They count as friends. I *wish* I had a regular group of people to play
online with... my entire Xbox friends list is 3 people, and I don't
think I've played online against a single one of them...

I did. They weren't prepaired to tell me anything.
And *then* I replied to their email. And still got no useful data.

No, they don't. That's why they need to hire you. If they had all the
expertise they needed, they wouldn't have any open positions.

We call that a Wilkinson letter. The first sentence lifts you up, the second
sentence cuts you off close.

They sure should do.

You should try Crysis Wars on PC. It comes with the SP game Warhead for
free. When you get into Wars, it's amazing. I usually play a sniper on a
particular server that I like. Doing ok at the moment. :)

Oh, I never got on with consoles... ;)
There is talk of having console players playing online with PC players
with certain games.
Should be interesting if it ever happens. ;)
