history: I got turned down for a job I really wanted.  I'd worked extremely hard to put myself in a position to have a decent chance of getting it, and I thought I interviewed really well.  But when I found out someone else got the job I was extremely disappointed and demoralized. I got turned down for a job I really wanted. Ugh_comma_ sorry! You must be disappointed. But remember if the door doesn't open_comma_ it probably wasn't yours. There's something else in store for you!
current: Thanks.  But yes, I was really dejected.  I thought I'd interviewed well and had a good enough resume.
next: Sometimes they already have a candidate in mind but have to go through the motion...the same thing happened to my husband. Your time will come.
