11 interviews into the process? Usually internal candidates should be processed prior to intense external candidate review. Dunno. It felt worse than the ghosts after one or four interviews. And knowing those hiring rules it may not have been someone more qualified . Who knows. 40+ hours a week job searching for 2.5 years and the state screwing up unemployment and demanding we repay (not sure we're done with the repayment fiasco) made it so we both now have extreme income anxiety... Especially looking at whether well even manage to retire.
I was turned down just last week for a role to nobody at all over "want someone with a fresh perspective". Stuck in a rut, or this one may be a personal vendetta. Who knows.
