I finally heard from the company I'd interviewed with, lo these almost three weeks ago.
Apparently I passed the technical screening, despite my feelings of having screwed up thoroughly. Unfortunately...
There were four managers in the second part of my interview. One of them wasn't really hiring; I suppose he was there just to advise the other three. One of them was looking for people with a skill set radically different than what I offered. One of them had her open positions withdrawn by the higher-ups-- that is, she was told to do the job with the people she already had on board. And the last one chose people who "fit into her existing team" better than they felt I would.
So I lost out, based on the "touch-feely" stuff in the management interview, which I'd thought I'd done well on. Perhaps I did do well, but others did better. That 's one way of looking at it.
The other way is that I'm still on unemployment, and have no immediate prospects. So it goes.
