So I work for a huge grocery chain (whole foods) and recently moved cross country for personal reasons. Long story short I was in a supervisor position back in Ohio and since then I've applied and interviewed 3 times for the next step (associate team leader) which i'm absolutely qualified for but always lost out to others already in that position . After the last interview I was ready to take another supervisor position at a store that's about a 40 minute drive away when I was approached by my store leadership telling me to go for an associate team leader position in my store in another department. I talked with several people including the current team lead and figured it was a good step in a less complicated department and there were no other candidates being considered. I turned down the supervisor position and began prepping for an interview where I figured I was a shoe-in. Today the team lead of that department comes up to me and tells me that at the last minute a guy from another store with 20 years experience in that field applied at the very last minute and that I shouldn't even interview. She still wanted me to come on as a grunt because she wants me to work for her but I can't spend another year of my life wasting away at a base level position. I hate the job I have now and no other jobs are posted. Advice?
