That doesn't mean I'm out of the game, I just get the sense that maybe I wasn't exactly quite right, and lets face it, as I learned today, I came from a pool of over 200 applicants.
It's great that my CV and cover letter got me in the door for an interview.
It's fantastic that I made it through the first round to the second.
But I really don't know if I got the job or not. It's not that the interview went badly (and the presentation part went very well I thought), but it's clear that the position is 'management' and that they have some possible concerns that maybe I haven't done enough and maybe I'm not quite the right person given my mostly design based experience.
Or maybe they think that I bring skills that would be beneficial.
Really hard to get a read, and really hard to say, I just have this slightly off sense that maybe I didn't get it. It's not about me not being a good candidate, it's really just about whether I'm exactly the right candidate for this particular job.
Apparently they're interviewing on Friday as well, so they said I shouldn't expect to hear anything until Monday or Tuesday.
There won't be much to say until then.

Having a "non-good" feeling about an interview means nothing. I remember when my father went for an interview at his last company (he was a structural engineer). He said he came away with the feeling that he wasn't going to get the job but he did - not only that but on his first day he discovered that the position was actually Senior Structural Engineer...
*crosses fingers*
Also, you clearly have some l33t 5killz when it comes to C.V.s and interviews so even if they don't go for you someone else is bound to snap you up.
druth- That's true, and is why I'm not completely saying 'I know I didn't get it' because I don't know that at all. I just don't feel particularly confident (or optimistic).
louche- Yes, I'm trying to hold on to that... but then start to freak out when I realize there are no other jobs being offered at the moment....
