yeah, they're not the same thing. Everyone I've talked to has got the hold for interview thing. I guess that they are waiting until they get all the applicants or something. I don't know.
I did not say that they were the SAME i said that they are BASICALLY the same.
If you are put on hold for an interview it is sort of like a waitlist in order to get an interview. Every once in a while they pull someone off and give them an interview, but for the most part it's kinda like getting a rejection....
