I attended a hiring session in Nashville, TN for a carman job that had 3 oopenings. The following day I received an email stating.

Dear Tyler:

You are pool or alternate. So they like you however there are not enough positions as there are qualified canidates. You may be called and you may not. My advice would be to keep applying.

I think the message is very straight forward and would take it as encouraging.
