<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Last week was the interview and he told me there were 30 other applicants at the time. (an entry level position; small company)  Since that time, I decided to take the initiative and made some informational fliers based on what he said he wanted and email them to him.  I never worked so hard to show I can take the initiative.  He sent me an email apologizing he didn't get back to me right away because he was sick and that he would give me feedback at some point.  Almost a week later, hearing nothing, I decided to email him and ask "what's up?".  He then told me that he was sorry for not getting back to me and that he ended up having 284 applicants and decided to go a different direction (nice way of saying "thanks but no thanks").  Anyways, long story short I realize I need to make myself more attractive, if I'm going to find a job anytime soon.
