Found out today, no go.
But to make it worse, the headhunter said...
"John" was very specific that the decision was not a reflection on your capability to do the job, or your match for the job.
In "John’s" mind, he simply did not feel a sufficiently strong “connection” on a personal level, and that is a big deal for him – and an obstacle that cannot be overcome.
Translation, "he didn't like you." "It was you, not him."
That's a first for me. Usually it is that my background or qualifications "don't fit". That is easier to get over. This makes me want to drink. I need a Stuart Smally moment.
Though, I can respect the decision based on that, because it is important, but I really liked the guy.
