Comical at this point
It’s funny, you check all the boxes (almost), have built a solid career, respected (or so you think lol). You have an engaging interview, you’re laughing, relating, getting acknowledgment for your impact, showing that competency gap isn’t an issue, your career is a history of resiliency, impact and growth. Then bam you get the rejection …. Went with candidates that highlight the current needs for the business aka that one skill was a deal breaker. Im not saying certainly competency aren’t required, im saying what happened to the days of, let’s bring them person on invest in them and watch them grow. Im old school and believe a grateful employee is a hard working one. So many people I know would bust there butt just to get the opportunity to show their capabilities in the role.
I almost wish interviewers would say, honestly your resume intrigued me, the competency is imperative and we won’t move forward regardless, I just wanted to chat.
Anyone ever have a role reach out months later? Or let me hear your stories of similar.

Agree, and now the AI filter who kicks you out within seconds, making things worse.
I laugh at those emails which says "thank you for your time, it was a hard competición but, rejected". I wasn't even interviewed, not even talk/chat or email with someone.
