ME job interviews can be confusing sometimes.

Apply to job I am highly interested in and felt like I nailed the interview, feeling very confident. Shared similar passions and interests with interviewers (even went to same college as both). Talked about the company’s goals and aspects for the future. Get rejection email two days later.

And then…

Apply to job I’m not so keen on. Feel like I bombed/did just okay on interview. Was very honest about my CAD skills, even didn’t know some of the terms he said in the interview (he had to explain them to me). Apparently they like me and want me in for a final interview.

Can someone explain how this works? Job searching for entry level position after college.
