I never had an interview directly with the organization. I dealt only with a recruiter for this position. She interviewed me for an opening at another organization, which I was rejected for, and this position was another one she asked me if I was interested in. (I had some problems with the recruiter herself, but that's a separate story.) Anyway, the main part of the application process for this position was a writing-thought exercise. For that, I got a basic set of instructions about a hypothetical situation and was asked to write a few different pieces (parts) in the style and form of what the organization would issue in such a situation. When I was ultimately rejected for the position, the recruiter shared with me the feedback she got from the organization on my writing-thought exercise. They told me that I hadn't fleshed out one part of the writing product enough. This was a decision of balance on my part - not wanting to spend a lot of time "working" for the organization (I was not compensated for completing this exercise) but wanting to do enough to fulfill the requirements. But it was more a matter of me believing that I had fulfilled the request, which was a bit too general to begin with. I believe I had fulfilled the request as it was asked. If they had wanted more, they should have been more specific in their instructions. So I believe they didn't spell out clearly and in enough detail what they were seeking. They dinged me for not being good enough when they didn't ask for something fully enough.
