"Pipped at the post"

So after another agonisingly long wait for news I get the phone call, and this time it isn't the news I want to hear. The job, as afore mentioned, has been offered to someone else... gutted.

Kinda feels like a punch in the stomach, I really wanted it and was quietly confident. So, after a two month long process I am back at square one, there are no prizes for second place and other applications have been unfruitful.

On the plus side (a very small plus side) I got some good feedback from the company who regarded me an excellent candidate, with the correct skills. They said I was enthusiastic and professional throughout and should be very pleased with my performance, which considering the number of applicants I suppose I am. What it came down to, they said, was that the other candidate had more experience and that clinched it.

Whatcha gonna do?
