I was rejected for jobs (internal side moves) many times for about 10 years. I've never been good at boasting about myself or making out I can do more than I can, and never knew the right people. Turns out those three things are a prerequisite for moving anywhere. I was getting pretty bitter about the whole thing, seeing people who could talk a good game in jobs they couldn't do properly, certainly not as good as I could. I realised it was all a big game though and eventually played it good enough to move to a job I wanted. Much as I hated playing the game, it was that or quit.
