There is an upcoming vacancy at my school. I spoke to the head and expressed an interest a little while ago, she seemed keen. I hadn't heard anything until today when there has been an all staff email saying the job is going to be advertised externally. No-one spoke to or emailed me personally to let me know I wasn't going to be offered the job.
I feel really upset and a bit humiliated, both about not getting the job, which I would have loved and also because the head didn't talk to me and let me know. There are various reasons I can think of as to why I didn't get it and I know it's not the end of the world.
At the moment I feel like replying to the email saying 'So I assume this means I wasn't suitable? Thanks for letting me know.' Is there any way I can say this without sounding like I'm being really bitter and shitty? Or should I just suck it up and say nothing?
