[quote=Anonymous]UPDATE: I was not offered either job. My sense is they thought I was overqualified. I think the people interviewing me knew I was qualified for THEIR jobs. Both asked how I would feel about moving from a large company to a non-profit university or a smaller company. I told them the opportunity excited me. The real truth is that I'm bored with my job and want to move on to something completely different, and both of these jobs DID excite me. I most likely would not have stayed at either job very long, but I would have enjoyed either one for a year or two. I'm wondering if that came through, even though I felt genuine enthusiasm for each of the jobs, and I felt a rapport with the people I interviewed with, I liked and respected them, and felt both jobs were a good "fit" for me.

So now I'm extremely disappointed and wondering what to do next. It took me a while to find these jobs (both through people I know), and a long time to go through the interview process.

I did manage to talk to one of the people making the hiring decision, and this person said they hired someone who is currently doing exactly the same job.

I guess this job market is so tight that you can write a job description and find someone with the exact experience you seek, since there are now so many applicants for each job. This is certainly an eye opener for me.

Wow. A bummer of a week for me.
