"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?

I am sorry to hear this! What a shame for you. I am going through a similar type of situation, playing the waiting game for second interview. The wise Scot's have taught me one of their sayings which has stuck with me. "what's for ya won't go by ya, lass"

If you drop the lass, I am sure it will be fitting the the situation.

Best of luck!
