So you said "no I will be making a decision this weekend" You were likely the last person they were interviewing and the last person they needed a trial day with. Couldn't do it on Friday so wanted to do next week. You told them youd be taking a job this weekend. They thought "ok we like her but she's not going to want to work with us because she wants to make a decision sooner than we are able to give her one. I guess we will go with someone we've already had a trial day with"

This is exactly it. You tried to pressure them into making a decision without having you do a trial day since they said they were ready to decide by this coming week and you said you were making a decision this weekend. So they went with someone who'd already done a trial day. You screwed yourself here.[/quote]

I agree that this is the most likely explanation. You interviewed on Thursday, said you could do a trial day next week, then turned around and pressured them to decide on you in two days. That's pretty rude, especially since you agreed to a trial day next week.

I'm assuming you did not have competing offers with such a tight deadline. If you did, you wouldn't be annoyed you didn't get this one.

I suggest you do NOT write them and ask what you did wrong. It is not common, nor is it professional. You didn't get the job, end of story.

If you emailed me, I wouldn't tell you the truth if you did do something wrong in the interview. Frankly,if you tried to pressure me into an early decision without a trial day, I would not hire you unless you were absolutely perfect in every other way. Instead of telling you what you did wrong, I would simply say we went with another candidate and wish you luck.[/quote]
