I had a job interview last week for a marketing role, and I walked out feeling pretty good about it. It was more conversational than I expected, but I just found out that they went with another candidate. I’m trying to figure out what went wrong — has anyone else received confusing vibes after an interview and still not gotten the job?
It sounds like you had a solid vibe during the interview, but sometimes it’s less about you and more about fit. I mean, sometimes it’s like dating — no one can explain why a great connection doesn’t lead to a second date. Have you thought about asking for feedback?
I’ve had similar experiences where I thought things went well but still didn’t get the role. One thing I learned is to ask for feedback after an interview; even if it’s tough to hear, it can be super helpful next time. Have you considered reaching out to them for any insights?
