Applied to a Director position and was contacted by the hiring manager (a peer) within a week for a screening call. She said I was very qualified and invited me for an onsite interview to meet the team. I went the following week and met everyone, including a potential boss who tested my Spanish and my would-be boss who was an hour late due to traffic. It was about a 4-hour meeting and I felt an offer was coming. After the holidays, I followed up on Jan 10th since I hadn't heard back. Three days later, the peer I hadn't met responded saying someone else got the job despite my 'stellar' qualifications and apologized. I'm confused as to why, given my 15 years of experience and successful interactions.

I got a call about an interview and the person said they'd email me the details that day. But, I didn't get the email for two days. When I went in for the interview, it was in person and I met with four people. They asked some questions about my background and quickly went over the job duties. They mainly wanted to know how my experience would align with the role.

I applied online and heard back about a week later. Then I had an in-person interview with two staff members. It was a really laid-back and nice interview, no super hard questions. I felt pretty good about it afterward, but I didn't get an offer. The whole thing moved really fast, and I think they ended up hiring someone from the university. Maybe they thought I was too qualified, or perhaps they had an internal person and were just checking boxes.
