Why is it that compliments by potential employers starting to come off as insults?!

Have I become the proverbial (career) girl with the great personality?? Is there still a chance I will find the job of my dreams, the love of my CV? Or will I keep hearing how much great-sounding employers just want to stay friends? :P

For example, an excerpt from today's in-box:

Thank you very much for your application...

In short, unfortunately, we are not able to offer you this position. You were a very strong candidate, but in the end we decided to go with someone else.

To be frank, this was a difficult decision--you were a strong candidate with a lovely personality and loads of potential. In the end, however, we decided to go with someone with a bit more experience and more African focus.

If you want to discuss this, please don't hesitate do contact me. Thank you, however, for your interest and please stay in touch--there could be room to work together in the future.

Or another recent addition:

Nous tenons à te remercier, sincèrement, pour ton intérêt... À la suite du processus de sélection auquel nous t'avons conviée, j'ai le regret de t'annoncer que ta candidature n'a pas été retenue pour les étapes finales. Cela n'enlève rien au fait que nous considérons que tu as un profil académique et des expériences professionnelles qui, nous en sommes certains, te permettront de trouver un emploi à la hauteur de tes aspirations.

N'hésites pas à me contacter lorsque tu seras de retour, il me fera plaisir de te rencontrer. En attendant, je te conseille de bien surveiller le site X pour de nouveaux poste à paraître dans les prochaines semaines.

Je te souhaite bonne chance dans tes recherches.
