Job Seeker: I am just calling to inquire about my application status for job number JC24 that I applied for two weeks ago. Employer: Oh yes! We are still reviewing all the applications, but your application is in the final stages of review with three others for this position. We will be notifying everyone this week with our final choice. *hangs up* *looks at the person they hired for that position last week and laughs*
