Hi Lloyd,

It's totally common in the industry and I personally have been rejected many times from interview or other applications process.

In the beginning of the career it might feels like a huge disappointment and discouragement.
The key is don't give up and don't take it too personally
You will realize these are just a nano impediments across your life.
Look and think about at the bigger picture.

What is it you want to achieve in your life/career ?
Why do you want the job so badly ?
What has driven you into the software industry and want to become a developer ?
Any new project and ideas you can build on your own as learning opportunity ?
