Some of you kind souls may be aware that I've been hunting for a new job since 08/22/2018 and my layoff was effective on 11/01/2018. It's been a long journey so far and I've learned a lot of things about seeking employment and life in general. Recently I have received an upswing in initial interest in my applications and has what I thought was a great interview on Friday. I was confident that among all of the other interviews and opportunities so far that this would be a job offer in the near future. I was expecting a time frame of a few weeks for the next steps, but today (it was the first business day since the interview), I received an email from the hiring manager that I was not being considered and they were moving forward with other candidates.
Obviously that's disappointing, but I am wondering how I could have called the situation so badly. I've been in other interviews and similar situation in which I thought I bombed, but afterward learned that I left a positive impression. In this case, I perceived that all had gone exceptionally well, in fact better than all previous interviews. So given the rapidity of the rejection, I clearly called it wrong, wrong, wrong.
I think I need re-calibration!
