    Got laid off last summer. I haven't started looking until recently, and I've only had one technical interview so far. I went through it, and going by the feedback of the interviewer, I solved the problem. He told me I was done, so I stopped working on it.

    The next day, I got a reply back from the company saying my skills weren't "senior enough". I guess they were looking for someone who could either solve the problem faster, or more confidently.

      My company has on multiple occasions brought in applicants to interview who aren't qualified for any positions we're actively looking to fill. I'm not 100% sure why that is, but it's led to us rejecting candidates who everyone otherwise felt pretty positive about.

        That might be part of it too. I got interviewed because I was friends with someone there. But there was no formal job description, just what people would describe to me during the interview. I only have ~5 years experience, and it was for a senior-level role. It was a little odd they made that decision during the tech interview though.
