Confused, advice needed?

littlemouse22

So I'm currently working through an agency, temping in two Hospitals for the past year. My role in the last year involved reception, admin, secretary, PA, accounts assistant.

I know it sounds like an awful lot in the space of a year but I seem to have picked it up very quickly starting off in reception and being asked to extend my role further in finance, which involved chasing over €100,000 claims. I worked within reception, updating databases, inputting adequate filing systems to improve efficiency within my first 3 months. I worked in this facility for half a year then moving on to a different medical environment.

In my new role, I have covered PA, invoicing, charging, medical terminology and advanced secretarial/administrating roles. I recently applied for a job which was under the level of which I'm currently undergoing. A friend of mine which has little to none admin and hospital experience was shortlisted for interview, yet I was told I did not meet the Criteria?

I am disheartened and utterly feeling degraded in the fact that I was not shortlisted for at least an interview as I know I am more than capable of carrying out the job required with little to no training. (I don't mean that in a way that I'm fantastic, it's just disappointing you cannot have the opportunity to qualify for interview in a job that is under the standard/level in which you ar carrying out on a daily basis.) Also my friend had sent me a copy of the job description, which nearly covered everything I am doing on a daily basis.

Can anyone please give me any advice as to what I can do to advance my chance in being shortlisted for interview in the furute? Should I start my CV from scratch? Any advice is appreciated as feeling quite under appreciated/low (not good enough) about this.

What qualifications have you got?
