Didn't get the job but said hopes we can work together soon??
20/f
Hello,
I got interviewed for a job a week ago and they said they would call me to tell me whether or not if I got a job. They called me yesterday and said that they really enjoyed talking to me and they had a lot of fun talking to me but they unfortunately went with another candidate.
Then she said, "But I really liked talking with you and I enjoyed being with you. I was wondering if you would like me to pass your information to the HR to see if another department is hiring because I would really like to work with you."
I told her that I actually applied at the same company but a different mall as well and she said, "oh, working for this company is great. I worked at the mall too but I would REALLY like it if you worked at the mall I work at. I would love it if you became part of the team because I really enjoyed talking to you."
I was disappointed at first because I studied hard and worked hard to get that job but then I was relieved a bit. My sister thought it was probably because I wasn't meant for that department and that it's good that she likes me and that she wants to help.
Is this what most managers say to those they interview to make them feel "not too bad" about themselves? does this happen often?

This isn't normal. Chances are she really did like you and think you'd be a good fit. She might have been out-voted by other people in the interview, there could have been some office politics going on, or, as good as you were, maybe there was just one person who was better.
Be proud of yourself and take her up on any offer of help she gives. That's how most people get jobs: Somebody else already known to the company vouching for them.

Sometimes a person will call, say they really liked you but they went with someone else. Typically they wish you luck or say to try them again in the future.
This woman sounds like she really liked you. She didn't say it once but repeated herself so you made a good impression on her.
Just in case you don't get the other job either, I would tell the lady now , if you didn't already, to go ahead and submit your info to their HR department.
Personality means a lot in a job and if you have just the right personality, then in time, the company will find a position for you. This manager will be putting in a good word for you even if its a different department.
