Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer.
When you first apply for a job, you might not succeed in getting it. It’s always a good idea to ask them to
explain to you what prevented you from beating the other candidates. Don’t complain about the situation, but
ask them to advise you on what you can do better next time. Perhaps the interviewer disproved of or disagreed
with something you said. Perhaps they just glance at your application and saw something that made it easy to
choose between you and another candidate. Don’t regard it as a failure, but recognize it as a chance to learn
more. As long as you don’t worry too much about it and continue to believe in yourself, you’ll eventually find the
chance you’ve been waiting for. Then your family and friends will be able to congratulate you on your success!
