I was hoping to discuss my CV with someone to see if they have any feedback on why I was not successful. I thought I could at least get an interview as I had a solid referral.
Thank you so much.

Which firm and office? It's probably best that you get feedback from someone who has relevant experience as opposed to wild speculations from different coaches!
Sorry about the rejection. Its part of the process and everyone faces it. Hope you are dealing with it well. Agree with what other coaches have said, try and get some direct feedback if you can.
But to give you a flavour, so many things could have happened in the background which you have no control over:
Good luck!
Hi there,
It is difficult to answer without seeing your CV and Cover. The most likely reasons given you had a referral are:
Hope this helps,

Hello!
The referral only guarantees that the CV is reviewed by HR, nothing else. If they think you don´t meet the bar for whatever reason... unfortunately it dies there.
Have you asked your referrer for feedback?
Hope it helps!

Hi there,
Feel free to send it through. Mind you, CV is just one part of it. The main reasons (any and all) that you may have been rejected include:
There are different factors that might affect the interview decision, even if you have a referral. But without more detailed information it's difficul to judge.
Happy to take a look if you still want someone to do so
Hi,

Hi there!
Sorry to hear about that! However, rejection is also an experience. Use the time given to significantly upgrade your profile and to maximize your chances next year!
- Relevant work experience. Have you applied somewhere else? Tier 2 consulting firms could be a great start and give you the needed experience that would be of great advantage in the future and make you a better fit for the desired company.
- Preparation. Solve different types of cases, prepare for the fit part carefully, improve your feeling of confidence.
- Networking. I would strongly recommend finding some contacts within the targeted firm to understand how it is from the inside, have a better idea of your position here in the future.
Maybe even think of the guidance of an experienced coach.
Do you need any further help?
Good luck!
