If you believe you were qualified, you might try sending a nice polite note or email saying "thank you for looking at my resume. I am interested in improving my skills. Can you offer me any advice on how to improve my resume/cover letter/initial interview?"

That is a good approach. Thanks!

Yay or Nay on trying to ask a HR rep why you were not selected for an interview?

My experience is no mostly because they wont tell you. Damn I want to know though.

It never hurts to ask. Good luck on the search.

Likewise, I went to a school smaller than Ames, that did have them, so apparently school size is not pertinent.

<disclosure: I almost posted "so apparently size is not pertinent" but decided to avoid the giggles and pointing>

I would have had to log in on the desktop and like that one.

I would hate to go to a small school. There's two division upperclassmen and underclassmen. We're easily the best underclassmen team. We've won every game by 20+.

I went to a 1A and 3A school, there's advantages to both.

1A advantages were mostly sports related, was a 3 year starter in basketball and that's before my weight loss. You also know everyone which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

3A advantages were academic related. Better teachers that got me ready for college. More people so a better chance to make friends.

There's more to it than that. Depends on the type of person you are. I liked both about the same.

yeah i did, very small school

me and cmjh played on the same team, lost by 4, refs sucked *** and we were kinda trying to lose.

I was also 3A, but still knew all of my classmates. Not really well friends wise, but I knew all of their names. I thought 3A was nice, 'cause it was big enough that you could choose who to hang out with, but still knew everyone. (170-ish in my class)

Yeah that's why I like the bigger schools. It's way more fun than a small school with like 500 students. I don't get why kids that live in Ames go to Gilbert.

yeah, the funny thing is that the refs put 2 points for them instead of us, so we lost 45-41, when it should have been 43-43, a tie, which would have been bad because our next game is against a creampuff.

Hmm...I'll place you under advisement for return to the list, but know ahead of time that IF you get put back on the list, there will be a probationary period, and pics do help.

Not showing the appropriate level of excitement about this opportunity in a timely manner may affect your return to the list, CG.....It's like returning an e-mail about a job opportunity 3 weeks later.
 
My graduating class was over 500 (different designations back, and different state...so I don't know what "A" that would be). My ex's was 17! In a big high school you tend to be pigeonholed in terms of extracurricular activities because there is so much competition. I wanted my boys to be in a smaller school than mine, but have more options than their dad did, so we chose to live in a different school district from Ames. Their graduating classes were around 100-115.
 
made a Marlon Brando Godfather impression for DH while I was putting on moisturizer.

He was not impressed.

Yeah...tough to know everyone in a class that big. I mostly hung with the vocal music & drama peeps.
