Aww, GG, I'm sorry to hear that. Perhaps the person they hired won't work out though?  |

I'm sorry it didn't work out this time GG, but at least there are a lot of positives coming out of this. You got to practice your interviewing skills and you have a good foot in the door with a good company that is likely to have more openings in the future, quite possibly the very near future. As Minako noted, it might not work out with the person they hired. If the lady felt like that person wasn't a good fit, they probably aren't and you know she will be calling you first.
I want to share something that doesn't relate exactly to your situation but just to job seekers in general who might feel discouraged when they don't get a job that they knew they were close to getting. I work in the public sector where this tends to happen more often but for a variety of reasons similar things happen in the private sector too that causes the company to advertise a position for which they already intend to a current employee. I'll give you an example of what is happening in my own agency right now. There has been a hiring freeze for almost 4 years, so what happens is all of these positions remain unfilled but someone still has to do the work. That means that people are hired through contracts or recurring temporary positions and when the fiscal year starts drawing to a close and there are funds that can't be used for any other purpose, the governor/legislature will decide to open a very short window of opportunity to fill positions, but the usual rules for hiring still have to be followed. So a whole lot of jobs get announced all at once and the people who have already been doing the work for those positions (usually for several years) also apply. So long as they've been doing a good job they are going to get the job and rightly so. The sad part is that many of the other people who apply would also be good fits for the position and have no idea why they get called in for an interview that goes great and then don't get hired. Sometimes it has zero to do with how good an applicant is, it is all insider politics (in my case literal politics).
