Keep your chin up!
I just got a call after three weeks of not hearing a single peep from a company that I had interviewed at 3 times. In the course of three weeks I was asked to come back in to interview with more and more people. For my third interview they asked if I would come in to meet the owner of the company. Now, I tell everyone before I come in that all of my work is online, so I walked into the interview with a resume in hand expecting them to have a laptop available for me to show my work. He walks in empty handed and smugly proclaims "I didn't even look at your stuff, what do you have? What is this interview for?" I knew right then I was hosed.
He misspoke a few times and didn't actually know what SEO was or how to get it, but proceeded to tell me that he typed my name into google and nothing came up. I asked him to spell my last name and of course he spelled it wrong.
Anyways, 3 weeks after that I finally get a call from the CD saying the last guy I interviewed with was very disappointed that I didn't have a presentation and didn't like my style, but hey, would you mind coming in and heading up a new large client of ours on a freelance basis? Oh and btw we're not going to go through the creative talent source that sent you here ok?
No.
I've had my share on "not the right fit" as well. You just hunker down and move on trying to better yourself for the next one.
Good luck.
