You’ve been for the interview at that dream company and you’ve been pipped at the post – someone else got the job/contract!
Big tip – see if you can find out when that other person starts the job or contract.
You’ll be surprised how often the ‘chosen child’ doesn’t start & its worth checking in every month or so, to see if the chosen child is still there. You’ll be surprised how often they don’t culturally fit, don’t perform, etc etc.
