I don't get it

Another job interview that I thought went well. Another rejection the very next day. What the hell am I doing wrong? I mean, I REALLY thought I'd be invited back for a second interview. Maybe it was the amount I named, which was more than what they said they'd pay, but not that much more. I thought negotiation was part of the whole thing. I absolutely HATE being asked my salary requirements before the job has been offered. The thing is, I was interviewing for the same thing all over again--an admin. position with a communications agency. But these people said they wanted someone to do much more. I saw real potential there, even though it isn't one of the top agencies in town. I just don't know. Maybe I was too candid. Maybe I expected too much. I saw myself being offered the job. OK, I'll be completely honest here. If they'd offered it, I was going to use the fact to push another potential employer to go on and get themselves together and offer me the job they've hinted they might have. And then I was going to be able to weigh the two and decide. That's gone. I don't get it. I can't imagine this company finding someone who would be better than I am for the job. I really can't.
