<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

So the title pretty much says it all, but I feel like a little background information might be helpful. 

Having graduated from college last year I obviously wanted to get a job in my chosen field and was lucky enough to have an interview the week after my course ended, having felt the interview went well I was disappointed when they gave they job to someone else in the end who had more experience (which was annoying considering they asked me to the interview at my end of year exhibition and knew I was just about to graduate) 

Anyway, in the months that followed I couldn't find a job in my field so I set about finding just anything to make some money and pass the time. Subsequently, I have spent the last 7-8 months in a job which I don't happen to like very much but keeps the money coming in. Now, a couple of weeks ago a company got in touch with me asking me to apply for their upcoming vacancy, this was great I thought, a opportunity to get a job I've always wanted and I must be in with a shot if they have came to me and asked me to apply! I went to the interview, said what I though were the right things and generally thought it went really well... Fast forward to today (just in the last half hour in fact) and I get the email "Thank you for applying to us, but we feel you don't have the necessary experience so we have offered the position to someone else"

I'm just quite upset at the moment. The position was a minimally paid graduate position and I feel like a failure, how can I not have enough expereince? I can't get a job that's basically been handed to me, I don't know what I'm doing wrong? 

I'm sorry if that all seems a bit confused, I'm quite shocked at the moment and disappointed. I really thought it was my chance to escape a job I dislike and finally get on the right track.
<bot>: I feel like a failure because I didn't get an entry level job in my career field and have no idea how to get one now.
