Yeah, I feel like a vibe-check has been key to any half-decent job I've had, and I just wasn't able to bring the vibe to this interview. I was run down and exhausted from recent illness, moving house and a hectic work schedule, and they felt it. It was for Melbourne's other very large university and despite the size of the organisation, the kind of area I work in is sufficiently small that everybody knows, or knows of, everybody else, so the rejection cuts a bit.
