Ranked # 2 in the Administrative Officer V Position at DepEd

I just learned from a friend that I got the no. 2 rank in the Administrative Officer V position at SDD - Department of Education Central Office. It was just frustrating that, twice, I was not able to get a vital position at DepEd. First, at the Internal Audit Service where I thought I was in a better position against the other candidates and second, at SDD. I met them all during the final panel interview as we laid down all our cards.
