Not Forwarded...

What the heck does "Not Forwarded" mean? I have recently applied for a Young Adult Librarian position and the application status reads "Not Forwarded."

I called the analyst at the HR department, left a message. A couple of days later I left another message. Then I e-mailed the HR department. Finally I received a response. The analyst told me that the library is looking for previous experience, especially since they received a lot of resumes. I replied, reminding him that I have 2.5 years of experience in an urban library, in reference, children's, and teen departments.

So, he forwarded it on to the library, so that they could answer my question. What to know why it was discarded? I don't have my MLS, yet. I am a month away from graduation, so I do not qualify. They don't have a policy like my current job has to hire within six months of graduation. It's all or nothing. That really bites 'cause the position sounded perfect!! It also sucks because I applied, before knowing this, to another position with their system, for a part-time young adult librarian. Oh well, I'll re-apply after December 10th!!
