I applied for a job in an agency I worked for many years ago and left on good terms.
Application Received 5/27
Administrative Pre-Screening 5/29 passed
Required Qualifications 5/30 passed
Preliminary Supervisor Review 6/2 passed
Now they have reopened the job advertisement. So I passed everything all the way up to and including supervisor review, but they decided not to contact me and instead reopened the position for applications. Seems a bit odd, but there's probably some sensible government regulation or policy behind it.
What if someone else was considered as a better fit due to the set of skills they are particularly looking for?
You have 25 years of experience, but your rival has 27 years of experience.
You have degree from Georgia Tech, but he graduated from Princeton...who knows?

They didn't hire anyone. I'm not sure what are you talking about.

Well maybe they already have a short list of candidates selected...why do you think this is not possible?
They renewed the job posting but that doesn't mean anything.
And that guy with 27 years of experience and Princeton diploma eventually will lose to another candidate from University of Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience.

Perhaps the supervisor wasn't happy with the pool of candidates, just becasue you pass the bare min, doesn't mean he or she wants to settle. Perhaps they are looking for something specific and keeping the rest in their back pocket. I'm sure the job has changed in 20 years.
