After an incredibly long saga, facing a 'sort of' demotion (more money but feels like a step back) following mat leave, I have really worked hard for 6 months to make an impression.
I have brought loads of loose ends together, motivated people, taken extra responsibility, been exceptionally flexible on my days off.
I thought I had really pulled it out of the bag, and loads of people were commenting on how great my work was. I made a key presentation at Board meetings with positive feedback from all quarters etc. Senior manager colleagues reckoned I would walk it.
Finally I went to the interview for the promotion. I came top in the occupational and ability tests but they said I was too nervous (!) and therefore gave the job to an external candidate.
How do I pick myself up from here and carry on?

Well, I didn't get the job. Not sure where to go from here. Anyone fancy commiserating with me?
