Why am I sad? I applied for a job at City Hall a few weeks ago. I got interviewed, and I didn't get the job. I'm the alternate. This is a job that I have been doing as a temp for a month and a half now. I have to ask, what does it take? They know I am good, they've seen me work. They know I will do the job to the best of my ability. I will try, I will put in the effort. My interview went extremely well. Everything there likes me. I'm respectful, honest and willing to do the job well even when I am not full time and I'm getting paid crap.
But no, some person who will probably turn out to be a bum like everyone else who has ever held that position turned up, so they hired that person instead.
So, I am sad. I don't know why I never get these jobs. I suck. That must be it.

Do NOT believe that for a second. The moment you buy into that lie is the moment that you sell yourself short.
Jobs can be a lot to do with luck and timing. Your time will come. You need to be patient.
I know it can get you down but keep trying.
You will find your perfect job.
It's times like these when we just have to trust in Providence. Especially when I look back on my brief career in showbusiness, it consistently seemed that every time I lost out on a job that I thought I was sure to get, it was because there was an even better one waiting down the road that I didn't know about. That pattern has persisted even into my new "office" career; right at the moment where I found myself having to make the decision to take a permanent job, exactly the opportunity that I was looking for opened up, and I got it. Just trust yourself.
