Groping in the Dark

I recently uploaded a cover letter, resume, four letters of recommendation, my college transcripts--both graduate and undergrad, my teaching license, and a very extensive application to a nearby high school's website.

I just hung up after a curt reply from HR, "The position has been filled."

ARG! This whole process is so frustrating! I feel like I'm completely groping around in the dark--I have no idea what the likelihood is that I'll ever hear from these places again. I had gotten my hopes up about this one. It seemed like I would be a perfect fit, but I'll just hang on to the hope that God has something better in store for me. I just wish I believed that in this moment.
