Keep your chin up. At my last unsuccessful interview I was given the impression I was the 2nd choice but a couple weeks later saw the job add open again. Turns out they had landed on one ideal candidate who later turned down their offer. Instead of coming back to me they decided to re-open the search to find someone similarly ideal. Not sure when they filled the roll but it worked out for me when I found a better job a few months later.

Homework assignments are becoming a big thing, companies want to see your communication skills, and planning skills. I did one where I had to basically come up with a plan for gaining new markets and where. I did a ton of market research, and built a solid plan including things like webinar topics, and I didn't get the job, but they sure used the stuff that I gave them. I was insulted by that.
But in one role that I'm recruiting for there's a home work assignment.
