I was waiting for them to contact me so I could either a) give my two weeks or b) start looking for something else. (I had my heart set on the job btw.)

I ALWAYS recommend not giving up looking elsewhere. The economy sucks right now and the job market is flooded so even if you are thinking "Hey, I got the job", you may not. I think this is a good rule of thumb even if you are really happy where you are. I am comfortable, and tolerating my job right now, but know it's not forever, so when I see something that looks like it may be a good opportunity, I send my resume anyways. Plus, my boss always tells me stories about how someone will be a horrible interview, that he would never offer a job to, or if not that extreme, 'just not a good match' and one of the questions he asks is "What would you say if you got offered this position" and 9/10 they always say "Yes", with extreme confidence that this is the place they are going to be at forever now. He also told me that he is required to interview a certain amount of potential employees each month to satisfy the powers that be even though he knows that they are not the "right match" for our team. It sucks, I know. I just wish that people were more honest with me about how hard it is to find a job. I still feel that our current college system doesn't prepare new grads for the realities out there when it comes to finding work........
