Makes you wonder what changed their positive attitude in such as short time.
Are you able to contact them to ask them, what went wrong, at least then you would know.
Anyway, good luck with the other interviews, hopefully something good will come from them.

Thanks Katie, it is pretty crushing. I'm trying not to lose hope and confidence in all my other interviews.
She did give me a reason and it was understandable.
The administrative staff at this university support the scientists and doctors. The position called for someone - in addition to their other office duties - to make travel arrangements.
I had no experience with that, except for planning my own vacations, but I didn't consider that a big deal. How hard is that to learn?
But guess the manager considered that something she wanted to turn over to someone else immediately and so she let me know the person she made the offer to did have experience with that.
Not much I can do about that.
Kelda:
Ive got my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Meryl:
Shit, that's hard, del. Really hard, especially when it comes down to something so seemingly peripheral. But I'd like to think this means you're getting close to the prize. One of these days, it will be you who's celebrating, and I hope that day is SOON. :-*

Thanks guys.
Penthesilea:
Aw sh*t Del, I'm sorry to hear. That's hard to stomach.
Don't lose hope on the other interviews. I remember having an interview that didn't go well (they asked some subject-specific questions I didn't know the answer to, simply hadn't come across it before), but they offfered me the job nonetheless. With job interviews, you just never know.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you. You'll hit the jackpot. And hopefully very soon.
