[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. It's impossible to tell whether there was an actual flaw in your presentation or whether they just preferred someone else, for good or bad reasons. Usually every interview will give the impression it went well, though, because in person, no wants to be rude and social people get caught up in the emotional moment and become extra enthusiastic. So that's not a good measure of how well you did. It means you were decent... but it doesn't always mean you were the best.

The rejection was quite brusque, and I take it to mean that the person writing it knows very well what a warm reception you got during the interview, and is feeling very awkward about having to write such a missive. So they went for sharp break... which says more about them than about you!

Is it really that brusque, though? I'm interviewing people bc I am short staffed. Even setting up interviews took a lot of time. Then I will spend more time interviewing people, all while continuing to do the work I regularly do in addition to the work of the role that I am hiring for.  Now I wonder if I have to tailor the news to each individual person who interviewed and provide in-depth feedback justifying why the job was offered to a different person. Don't interviewers generally come off as pleasant in interviews because they want you to want to work there? That's why they are interviewing you. I have been on the other hand, and while it is natural to take rejection personally, it's often not.[/quote]
