I think sometimes even the very well qualified (and Peter should be) do not survive the interview grind.

Would be simply silly if that off by one error was the cause for rejection.

He seems pretty excited for not getting the job.

Life goes on, why should I worry!

I hear ya. Perhaps you should just tone down the exclamation points, though. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Elaine used too many exclamation points in the manuscript she was editing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So why do you think you didn't get the job?

This is probably just interview #9 - seeing if he'll break NDA or trash talk Google after finding out he didn't get the job. You have to know how your employees will handle stress and frustration. ;)

The "I got interviewed by Google" articles are getting old for me. I just don't care, and their process isn't that interesting anymore.

Agreed. They have, what, 20,000 employees now? It's as exciting as getting an interview at HP or IBM.
