Hi

So I’ve applied to be a Gateline Assistant where I’ve successfully passed its interview although I’ve didn’t receive an direct offer I received an email stating this:

However, it was deemed at the interview that you met the required standard, and should another vacancy for this position arise in the next 6 months, we would very much welcome another application from you.

Since then, I’ve applied for several more Gateline Assistant selection/fit roles. I was shortlisted for a meeting for one of the stations, but unfortunately I wasn’t selected following the meeting.

Does anyone have any advice on what I could do differently in future, or any insight into why I may not have been selected following the meeting? I’d really appreciate any feedback.

Okay. Other than that, seeing as none of us were there and don't know what your background was, how you/others came across & your/other answers to questions, it will be hard to know why you didn't get the job because there's so many unknowns. We aren't going to be able to get inside the minds of the hiring managers to be able to give you any "insight", unfortunately.
