"...learned and grew from it". That reminds me of a guy I interviewed who rated his skills in language x a 10 out of 10. He didn't get the job because he couldn't back that up when discussing code. I'd say he was a 5, maybe a 6. Fast forward 3 years. I'm at a different job and interviewing again - same guy. I'm not sure he recognizes me, but I know where I last saw him. I tried very hard to forget the last interview and give him a fair shake, but it was a repeat! I was sure he hadn't learned a thing in 3 years. The same types of questions were still a mystery to him. If I left an interview not knowing something and feeling like that kept me from getting a job, I'd go home and learn it. In this case the main language for both jobs was the same. Oh, in the end, he did figure out this interview was a repeat.
