Outside of possibly not having the right (or enough) experience for the position that you’ve interviewed for, have there been other qualitative feedback points that you’ve taken away, either by being told explicitly or through self-reflection?

Maybe:

– Lack of preparation (this company was started in 1942…)

– Mustard from lunch left on your chin (dang, that was a good hot dog)

– Rambled, rather than directly answering the questions (it all started when I was 6 years old)

– Dropped the f-bomb one too many times (it slipped out)

– Personality conflicts (I’m the best, no I am, no she is)

– Dozed off during the Zoom (it was only a long, delayed blink)

– Over-qualified (don’t you hate those)

– Lack of enthusiasm (ra-ra, hoo-ray)

– Culture fit (whatever that really means)

– Couldn’t get into a good conversation flow (umm, ah, you-know)

– Bad hair day (flat iron burned out right before the interview)
