I once interviewed for a job where they admitted I was the only person in the pipeline. I was then rejected with a canned "This was a highly competitive process and we've decided to proceed with other candidates" email. Did not feel great.

Are the reasons things that the applicant can change (e.g. lack of relevant experience or poor presentation skill?) or things they can't change (too old, wrong gender), but also how sensitized is the applicant to rejection (due to recent experiences)?
