| Comment | I can only speak for myself but the simple reality is that if you interview a lot of people for a position it all becomes a blur - you remember the best few but it can be really hard to recall everyone individually, particularly if you do 6+ interviews in the same day, which is entirely normal. So I wouldn't be remotely surprised if your feedback was actually based on their experience of someone else and they're misremembering who is who.
On the other hand, I do try and give genuine feedback not meant as "if you'd done this you'd get the job" but as "this might improve your chances in your next application" - so it might grate but them commenting on your speed of response might be a polite way of saying you were talking over them? (which in my experience some keen candidates do)
And, of course, you may just have been interviewed by arseholes you wouldn't want to work for anyway. It never ceases to amaze me how bad some people are at doing interviews, which is a skill in itself, and one few people are trained in. |
