[QUOTE="mat123, post: 181620, member: 34555"] Definitely speak to your supervisor and get her advice. You can go through your feedback together and figure out what you can work on for next time. Also even if your job is niche as you say, I'm sure there are plenty of interesting skills that you've gained and that you just need to extract and explain persuasively during your next application/interview.
