The questions were't that difficult, but apparently very precise and high expectations for elaborate articulation. I have never, in 30 years of my professional practice, I received a typewritten rejection letter that had single spaced paragraph of specific critique. Unfortunately the interviewer apparently didn't like my looks,or didn't think I fit in with their corporate culture, or just had already made a decision to hire another candidate for the position.
The unsolicited criticism stung, especially as I'd made several specific points about the company's history that I learned from the website, but she just was not listening. The crtical letter, hoping "that sharing this feedback will be helpful to you", but instead added unecessary insult to injury. especially when the job covers one quarter of San Diego County, which is the size of Connecticut, and pays what I was making 12 years ago!!
An interview is an initial exploration by TWO parties to do an initial screening from both sides to see if there is any compatibility or a mutual desire to move on to the next interview phase. One thing that I did learn from this interview, is that I would not be happy with this woman's supervisory style.
