Hi Ginger, I'm sorry to read about your job disappointment.

When you aren't selected for a job you wanted, it is always worth constructively asking for feedback and being willing to listen and understand the reasons - and adjust your approach or add to your skill set if needed? Particularly with internal appointments, this can be helpful. (I work in HR :))

It that is the role you truly want, what would you need to do to make yourself the first person that would be looked at for that job and for the job not to be offered to someone else who may be perceived as a better fit? We don't find it easy to ask for feedback at times when we are feeling a bit crushed because things haven't gone our way - we've all been there - but if we can open-heartedly seek it - I think it is worthwhile. This isn't the universe handing you a raw deal, it is someone within your company perceiving there may be a better fit for that particular role, at this particular point. And all of that is something you can do something about...

Hope this helps a little Ginger anyway xx
