In this job market? As a young person seeking to get on the career ladder? Unless you're a much-needed specialist, suck it up and get used to it, especially if you don't live in a city. I've applied for a number of jobs I'd be perfectly good at and am qualified for and still been turned down. Because say, a mid-career individual with 10 years experience doing the same job also applied. Or because they were actually going with a quick in-house promotion but legal reasons required them to interview. Or tiny mistakes/omissions on my part that tipped a balance somewhere between me and one of the 50 other applicants. Learn from it, don't take it personally, figure out what issues you could have avoided or what you can do to sure-guard against in the future.
