I wouldn't take it personally. Many companies seem to never be forthcoming with their reasons for doing the things they do. I know this won't pay your bills right now, but in a way you can be glad to not be working at the company that didn't hire you. If they're the kind of company that makes people jump through a bunch of hoops, gives them positive feedback every step of the way and then doesn't hire them then it's likely not a place you want to work. The tougher situation is when you do go to work at a company like that, and they just arbitrarily hire you and not someone else, and then over the next couple years you have to experience how fucked up their decision make process is. My last company fired one of the other developers shortly after I left; they gave him no advanced warning, no indication that they weren't happy with what he was doing, and no honest reason for why they were firing him. They fired a girl from marketing apparently for just being intelligent. They fired another guy from marketing because a few years after they hired him for a marketing job they decided he should suddenly be a coder. You got a small peek into the decision making process at this company you interviewed for. For whatever reason they didn't think you'd be a good fit, and you should now be certain that they weren't a good fit for you either. Sounds like you're a smart guy/girl and you'll rock an interview at a place that will actually appreciate you and what you can offer them.
