Thinking about it I can see that jealousy is something some people experience more than others and to a greater intensity. Why this is so I don't understand, I also don't understand why I don't seem to feel jealousy (I did in childhood, but not in adulthood) - perhaps one day I will feel it, perhaps the truth is that I've had a blessed life with no real problems up until now.

You are lucky as you don't feel jealousy anymore. I think, as years pass, we get control over our emotions.
But what if, in the example quoted by you, the other person who has applied for the job is less qualified, less capable of doing the job than you and still job is offered to the other person, what do you feel then?
