I was one of three people in the running for a promotion at my job. I ended up not getting the job and a person with less experience got it.
I recently tried to get a manager's job in my company, two others and myself were the last three in the running for the job.

Very nice, congrats on making it that far. I actually was in the same situation about a week ago.  How do you feel you match up to the others?

I had much more experience than both of them, but ended up not getting the job. I am still pretty upset about it.
user
I would be upset too.  However, I wouldnt get discouraged though.  There may be another opportunity even better that comes along soon.
