don't know how to help my wonderful DH

[purplemonkeydishwasher]

He's been looking for a new job for over a year now has been to lots of interviews but can't seem to get hired. He was just turned down for a great job with RBS yesterday and he's so down.
He's a great guy. so good at his job such a great dad i hate to see him like this.
The worst bit is that he's going through a really bad time at work right now and the only thing that was getting him through was the thought that he might get hired at RBS. Now...
I just feel so helpless. I want to make it all better for him but I can't.

poor man its alful went loved ones feel down

has he phoned rbs to ask for feedback as to why he didn't get the job? i know it's really hard to do, but it could make the difference so that he gets the next one! what does he do?

they said that he answered 2 of 5 questions wrong. but he's in IT and it wasn't the technical questions.
now he's going over everything in his head over and over again trying to figure out where he went wrong.

Has he done lots of research on companies he'd like to work for, checked out employment sites on the internet for interview practise, tips etc. Also prepared answers to questions he thinks they might ask next time he goes for an interview. Dh has just got a great new job after several years of interviewing on and off and lots of disappointments. I reckon he came across as too laid back in the interviews (it's a fine line between laid back and over eager) but it helped a lot when he started doing research, made him feel he was being pro-active. Sorry your dh is feeling low - it's a very hard thing to be rejected after hopes are up.
