How the fuck am I supposed to win? The job has a client-facing element to it, am I supposed to be shaking like a shitting dog while representing the company?

A talent hires B talent, B talent hires C talent. Maybe the interviewer felt threatened by you.

I broke my own policy of attending interviews that I know HR will also be there for, did I fuck up?

She was really cute though.

it's the same like trying to get laid, they found someone better than you and just gave you a bullshit excuse

idk man, theyll pretty much say whatever to get you off the phone if you ask for feedback, they just chose someone else

dude, don't listen to that bullshit. It's a typical HR canned line. I've tangentially been through this bullshit
>gf worked as an upper management at a medium company
>she's a very competent wageslave and brings in fucktons of money so all is well
>higher ups get jelly and start making her life a living hell so she will quit and they can take her project
>she quits and says she doesn't want to work in management anymore (muh psychopats and evil people) and will look for a job that is a step down from her level
>applies to dozens of jobs for which she's overqualified thinking it's gonna be just a formality to get in
>for the next 8 months gets rejected for reasons like "not enough experience (??), "too overqualified", "you didn't pass our test cause you didn't take it seriously enough", "found someone else more suitable for the job (even though her expertise is quite specific and there are a handful of people that can do it)", etc.
>gets depressed

>after 8 months actually finds a company that takes one look at her CV and sees gold; she's a perfect fit for them and they know how to monetize it

>happiest she's ever been

TL/DR: after 8 months of that shit I can tell you that you can wipe your ass with this "feedback". There are thousands of reasons for why they will reject you but they will never tell you the truth. If you know you're good at what you do, just keep looking until you find a company that is not retarded.

Do you actually believe people when they tell you the reason they turned you down OP? Are you 10?

>> No.12533459

>>12533064
The fact that op couldnt figure this out makes it clear why he wasnt hired.
