I recently inteviewed for an IT management position with a large chain of medical clinics here in the Tampa area.

During the inteview I was asked the typical 'do you have any questions?' once they were finished asking me about my qualifications and telling me about the company.

Curosity got the better of me so I said 'do you know how many people applied for this position and how many people you are interviewing?'.

She answered 'well, we recieved about 500 applications and we are inteviewing 6 final candidates'.

Well, it made me feel pretty good to know I made the cut but to make a long story short I did not get the job. In addition to the tough competition I suspect that my lack of health care industry experience was probably a contributing factor in my not getting the job.

I keep marching on and I have a couple other interviews lined up for this week but I know that there is a lot of competition for the work that is out there.
