Job Rejection

[bobski1]

Had 2 interviews & was looking hopeful but then got an e-mail through saying won't be progressing application without any feedback/reasoning.

Really struggling to get over this one as it felt like a very good fit/role & after years away would have been closer to home to aid the old folks & family.

Any tips/ideas on how to overcome this kind of stuff?

I did contact them and asked, their response was a typical HR one but what I did get out of the woman was that the person who beat me to it was a better fit, interpreted as they had more experience in that field than I, which is perfectly fine as I am not fully experienced.

But the issue for me is that it was the best place to be to get closer to home, there aren't many alternatives at the moment & means I am stuck away & it's difficult to get back & help the old folks often.

Feedback is important but I can see how much work it could be depending on the number of people however given it was a 2 interview job application they could have given something, luck that I have some good rapport with the HR woman and she did give me some info.

During the 2 interviews I definitely think the second was the better than the first & I did have good connection with the interviewers.

They have a similar role which the HR woman suggested applying for so will see.

Appreciate all the posts though people job hunting isn't half a ballache.
