"You did very well in the interview and we liked you but on this occasion you have been unsuccessful as there was someone with more experience than you. We wish you all best in any future jobs you take...blah...blah..."

I know it is hard but please try and keep positive, so many people do not get the interview so you just have to find the job for you hug

It is hard but they have lost out not you and you will get that job, I applied for so many jobs and went for so many interviews but in the end I got the job so it will happen
Good luck to both of you

A few weeks ago I was in the same situation. I sent in over 20 application forms across the county looking for a job in primary schools. I received around eight replies asking for me to attend an interview.
I got that fed up with the same lines so I brought it up in the interview.
I didn't get the job I applied for but they gave me something else. I don't know what got me the job but I'm know employed.
It's your right to feel angry but please don't give up. You will get there!

hug

Don't give up, keep trying. Smile

At least you got feedback. My son recently went for an interview for a line of upmarket fashion shops. Lucky to get an interview as 100s applied. The interview was done in a High Street coffee shop, took 10 minutes. I know his CV and interview technique are good as that is what I train teenagers in. He came home buzzin, told me all about it, in great detail. Alarm bells ringing but I didn't say anything - interview 10 minutes!

Next, thing we hear? Nothing, not a dickie bird, the new shop has opened, fully staffed. No postcard, text - nothing to say sorry, unsuccessful. I can understand it if you haven't been interviewed, no I can't it still is rude not to acknowedge the CV and application.

I told - suggested that he phone them ask them for feedback. He is a teenager, he won't. Won't even walk past the shop, or ever buy anything from them again. I just hope this hasn't put him off working - ever!

Sorry to hear about your son, daisycat. It just goes to show you that it happens to us all regardless of age or gender. One things for sure some one is bound to snap him up. In the meantime give him a
