I would certainly have been questioning the choice, also questioning my own performance in interview if that had been the case. Would I have felt 'jealousy'? I can't really say for sure.

I did have a lot of negative emotions at the time as it was, disappointment, rebuffed, but separated those from the person who did get the job because none of that was to do with her.

I'm quite a pragmatic logical person so maybe this is part of that.
Thanks for this!
