"We're going with someone internal."

5 interviews. 2 months. No job. This illustrates what just happened to a friend of mine. She was interviewing for a Coordinator-level position at a company while the Director of the department quit/was fired/let go. While the company conducted interviews in hopes of replacing the Director, they still brought my friend in for multiple rounds of interviews.

Then she got the dreaded email about the "internal candidate," who, all of a sudden, "has raised her hand for the Coordinator position."

Just like that? All of a sudden? My friend's been interviewing for this position for months now! She's met with HR, every person on the team... and now you're going to tell her that, after all of her efforts, she's been trumped by someone internally?

Frustrating much?
