You've got to call

Yesterday I applied for a job to which I thought I was very well suited.

Today I called the agency and the agent told me he thought I wasn't very well suitable at all.

For that job.

But he was willing to consider me for other jobs.

Ten minutes later he called back. He wanted to consider me for some potential project management positions at his client.

He gave directions on how I should tweak my c.v., I dutifully tweaked, and now the c.v. is going to the client.

From the jaws of rejection comes a bite (not sure that sounds right but you know what I mean).
