Thank you!

Title: Phone interview invitation from Fortinet (AMRD 2013: Jr. Java Software Engineer)

Thank you for your asking that status of OA test status.
If you did get invitation email for the phone interview by far.You name should not in the phone interview list. In this case, if you eager to ask us your status, sometimes we would rather keep silent or say we will .... if your code is suitable.
But to be honest, this way sometimes seems a bit cruel.
I can understand it.
But please trust me we have compared carefully all candidates answers and it is true that it's very hard to select less than 10 guys from more than 300 hundred's candidates.
We can not reply every body as that need writing hundred's emails.
Do not give up even you have not received the phone interview invitation email. That does not mean your code is not good as others. Maybe others have more experience, or these questions cannot let you show your strong parts. I am sorry the open positions are limited in our team.
But on the other hand, you can still try other positions in other team or other company. Never give up as there still a lot of opportunity in the worlds.
Keep on coding, Keep on trying, just got stick to your dream, anything can come true.
Best wish!
Bruce

I wrote a note you can send to the candidates who are NOT moving forward with the interview process.

Thank you for completing the OA test. I regret to inform you that your interview process ends here. We were fortunate to have over 300 applicants, and I could only pick 10 for the next round of interviews. I wish I had the time to provide you with personal feedback about your answers, they were very thought provoking and insightful. I encourage you to keep coding, follow your dreams, and apply to more positions! Thank you for your time and interest in our company.

Best Wishes,

Bruce

We can set aside some time next week to write an email together for the candidates who are moving forward with the interview process. These are the 10 you selected for phone screenings.

Thanks,

Hi,
You name and name are listed in the second batch for the phone interview.
If we can't get any right candidates from the first batch I will invite the second batch candidates for the phone interview by the end of Sep.
The early time will be in the last week of Sep.
And you need not wait for us if have another opportunity.
Bests
Bruce
