got rejected from internal job promotion
so there was a job advertised at work which i and another girl applied for, she had her interview a few days after she had applied, 2 weeks on i still hadnt heard anything... so i made an official complaint to my manager about it.
Anyway this girl that applied has only been there 6 months and has a less relevant background than me for it.
I then got told today that i wasnt going to get an interview and i found out this other girl got it. i feel totally robbed and annoyed.
Should I quit? what should i do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
as isis says it is all a game, you can chose to play the game or you can quit. you should totally ask your boss in a nice way for feedback on what the other girl has that got her the position over you. but be prepared for an answer that doesnt satisfy. Unfortunately an employer can base their decision on any number of factors that don't necessarily relate to how much experience you or she has. and if it is a case of maybe she know someone higher up in the corporation who got her the job, they will likely give you the runaround. If you feel that is the case i would look for another job and when you find one then quit.

Ask your manager for feedback on the application you did. Maybe the other girl put something on hers that you didn't, and that made the difference.
A good way to impress employers in this situation is to ask for this as advice for the future. They like to think that you are interested in improving how you go about things. Always ask for this feedback in a positive light, negativity does not go down well.
You may be justified in feeling robbed and annoyed but be careful how you show this to the company, it could affect how they view further applications or referencing for a different employer.
If you learn how to play the game you should be well placed to get to where you want to be in the future. You don't need to lie, just learn how to phrase things in the way that will appeal to them. With the appropriate feedback you should be able to do this.
Hope that helps and good luck for next time.

I would talk to your boss about it. Tell him/her that you are more qualified for this job and thefore should have gotten it. See what he says to that and then, with the outcome of that will be the outcome of your job. If he disagrees ask him why. Then let the conversation take it's toll. Hope I helped
