Had interview yesterday - first since being made redundant. Recruitment agency actually rang me and said they thought I'd be ideal for the job and had put my cv forward. Interview went very well I thought, I was in there for 90 minutes, interviewers seemed to like me and by the end of the interview were saying things like 'when can you start', 'what hours would you like to work' and 'we can be flexible in terms of days you work because of your childcare'. They insisted on giving me the grand tour of the building, saying stuff like 'this is where you'll sit' and 'you'll report to Mr x'.
At the end the main interviewer insisted on giving me his business card and said he'd be in touch and he hoped I was interested in the job. I said I was and I looked forward to hearing from them etc etc
To be honest started thinking the job was mine (especially as recruitment firm told me I was the last person they'd seen and they'd discounted all previous applicants) and was on a real high.
Got a phone call from recruitment agency today saying interviewers had liked me, thought I'd fit in well but since they'd interviewed me they'd arranged to interview other people. They thought I had been too 'general' in my answers to their questions.
I'm gutted
if they had really liked me and wanted to employ me they wouldnt have arranged to see anyone else (it's not like they had already set the interviews up).
Feel so disheartened and rejected. Especially when I thought I had it in the bag. Talk about being over confident, had even bought celebratory bottle of wine to share with DH. That will teach me.
