hidden reasons might be, not the one they gave you. I don't know you or what your work load capability is. That was probably not right for me to say even though I said it sort of tongue in cheek, and oh as sort of a joke. So laugh already :rofl:.

They can make any excuse they want for not giving you the job and the one they gave you was the worst one ever. I would have reported them.
Over the years before affirmative action, these are a few of the excuses I heard and no one could make employers hire you if they didn't want to.

Okay, girl comes in for my job. I'm getting a promotion. Oh, I barely type sixty words a minute and she types eighty with ease. My manager tells her she doesn't type fast enough. I go WTF? And the manager says we can't have that. Oh, btw she's African American.

I went on a job I was well qualified for an old and now defunct computer firm. (This was back in the day's of the old mainframes.) I was struck with the number of movie starlet gorgeous women working there. I didn't get the job. My headhunter found out that they only hired beautiful women. Answering a phone was good. If you could actually do some work, it was better. (I wasn't ugly, but I wasn't a movie star.)

Fat girl didn't get hired because the job just was just filled.

Being overqualified, underqualified, whatever qualified was always a good generic one too.
