OMG, this university H keeps interviewing at and not getting a position for is going to be the undoing of me yet.

Now he has been contacted by the industrial engineering department; he had been interviewing for mechanical engineering. They asked for his 3 references ASAP last week, he told me this morning they possibly will interview him tomorrow (if they can get the critical people there, with it being so close to Thanksgiving). If not tomorrow, they will be interviewing him later, Friday or next week. They have been dangling a job in front of him and taking it away since last spring.

Hope, then no hope, then hope again, then no hope.

It's very hard.
