what did i do?
i recently had a job interview and their feedback was..... well.... ill tell you and you can form your own oppinion:
1) im too friendly
and thats it! is it just a cop-out? How can you be too friendly? did i smile too much? did i say thankyou too many times? what!!!! they didnt bother to tell me!!! and to be quiet truthful its making me sad!!!
How am i ment to be? like rude? Quiet and only saying a few words? like rufus a little bit evil? like vincent and slightly dark and mysterious?
(im only joking with those analigies but i think you get the idea.)
So please, little help?!?

well, what job was the interview for? Obviously not a retail position, as that's normally a trait they look for.

yea, a little too friendly sounds like a good trait. But I guess it matters which job you're going for. So like Fields asked, what job?

Or a cop, or a prison warden or a traffic warden or a corporate tycoon.....
Being too friendly sounds like an excuse. They had probably already picked who they were going to employ and were just going through the motions with anyone else who had an interview after their pick.
Happened to me once. It was for a managment position where I was currently working and I'd gone for one a few months before. The excuse given then was "You were not chosen last time" Equally poor excuse.
Don't let it get you down, it's thier loss.

Ive never heard of being too friendly being unsuitable for a job. Usually its if you havent made an effort in apperance or they didnt feel you were right for the company.
But forget them, if they reckon being too friendly is not right for them, go to some company who appricates a friendly employee.

That does sound like total bullshit. I can't imagine how being 'too friendly' is a bad thing, especially if it was in an office. Well, unless you do get too friendly 
If that's the sort of feedback you're getting, then use it to your advantage and find a job where they want a friendly person
