CEC Systems Administrator interview questions

I had interviewed with head of the HR department and the hiring manager for the IT department. I felt the interview went pretty well and was told to wait on a potential second interview. Didn’t hear word after a week and reached out. Said they were still interviewing and waited another 2 weeks after that date to see if they have found another candidate. They said the position hasn’t been filled, but I received an email the next day they had gone with another candidate.
