I Am Depressed

I recently applied for a Team leader position however was rejected after my interview. I had a feedback session today where they told me I didn't have enough team leading experience even though the other candidates were in the same boat as me. I have been working in the company for over 2 years thus felt I had the knowledge and skills to be promoted to
A team leader position. After finding the people who were successful 2 of them have been in the company for less than 6 months. This definitely put more salt in my wounds. I am not sure If I can ever be promoted in this company :( My goals are always being shattered :( not sure what to do anymore

Even though the successful candidates are only with the company 6 months they may well have more team leader experience than you. Maybe that's what they did in their previous jobs? So try not to take it personally, you have to show your bosses that you are keen and eager to learn. Don't give up, this should make you more determined to prove yourself than ever! Remember you only get what you settle for in life.

yeah I have come to face that might be the case. That is why I am going to work hard to make sure that I will be the perfect candidate next time. But I still feel that even if I do all this work, it might not be enough, they may still overlook me in the future as well, which is what is bothering me :(

Hey you can still send your resume to other companys while working there. Do some extra training give yourself the edge. If they don't appreciate you others will.

How do you get team leader experience if you have never been a team leader?
