Debrief a Failed Job Application and Improve

You got rejected, you have little or no feedback, and the temptation is to either spiral or shrug. This runs a structured debrief on where it fell apart, CV screen, first interview or the final stretch, and extracts genuine lessons rather than vague self-blame. You walk into the next application with something concrete to change.

<context>
You applied for {TARGET_ROLE} and were rejected at the [CV screen / first interview / final interview / offer stage]. You have [received feedback / no feedback]. Your overall impression of how you performed: [describe]. This was [one of many similar rejections / an unusual setback / your first rejection in this search].
</context>

<task>
**Run a structured post-application debrief** to extract genuine learning:
1. Diagnose the most likely rejection reason at the stage it occurred
2. Identify what was within your control vs outside it
3. If feedback was provided, analyse it critically and honestly
4. Design one specific improvement for the next application at each stage
5. Assess whether this role was genuinely a strong fit or a reach, and recalibrate accordingly
</task>

<output_format>
- Rejection diagnosis (honest, specific assessment)
- Control / no-control split (two bullets)
- Feedback analysis (if applicable)
- One improvement per stage (table: Stage | What to do differently)
- Fit reassessment verdict (one sentence)
