They didn't reject you for the reason they gave you.
The email said another candidate was a closer fit. What actually got written down was something else entirely and nobody is ever going to tell you what it was.
This is 40 minutes inside the head of the person deciding. Told by someone who does the deciding.

What they emailed you
"Thank you for your time. We have decided to progress with candidates whose experience more closely matches the role."
What they wrote in the notes
"Talked me through the CV I'd already read. Never said what she'd actually change here. Nice but I don't think she would be able to do the job"
What you get
Four lessons. straight to the point
Every lesson ends with an AI prompt session, so you finish with your own answers written down; not a nice idea you nodded along to.
-
The first four minutes
What the hiring manager has already decided before you have finished answering question one; and what actually changes it.
-
The question behind the question
Why tell me about yourself; isn't small talk, and what they are really scoring while you answer it.
-
The panel problem
Your interviewer has to defend you in a room you will never sit in. Give them the words to do it.
-
Why good candidates get cut
The rejection reasons that never make it into the email; and how to spot them in your own answers.
Most interview advice comes from people who have sat on corporate panels and read the calibration guide.
I have hired for my own businesses for over ten years. That changes what you notice; and what you are willing to say out loud.
