My 23rd interview was at a familiar place, I went on my 5th interview.

This position was for a "Production Artist", apparently it was about adding lettering and text to customizable items for customers.
Despite it being a place I've been to, I was late by an hour because I got lost. I think it's because my mother was driving (Who always gets lost).
I told her I think we should have went one way, but then we went another way. We kept going down this one road and then we were practically in another town and then there was a roadblock so traffic was heavy.
By the time I got there, I told them why I was late and about 10 minutes later they saw me. I think the interview went nicely, I also went on to say that I also have an online portfolio that has newer things. Since the last Graphic Design position I went on an interview went badly, and one reason was because I had older things on my physical portfolio.
I think the interview went well... but three hours after I got home. I received an email saying this...
We certainly enjoyed speaking with you and appreciate your patience throughout our search process.
While we were very impressed with your qualifications, we were faced with a difficult decision of continuing our search for candidates who we believe are more closely matched with what we are looking for in this position.
Please accept our best wishes and thank you for your interest in Positive Promotions.
One thing I'm not doing, is accepting their best wishes...It's useless.. It;s just like saying "We didn't like you.. but have a nice day!"
Lesson Learned: Really, make sure you know where you're going. Also, if they say they'll contact you within a week, they may just send you an email or call you as little as three hours later saying they are looking for a different kind of person.
