Comfort him and remind him of all his great qualities. Then tell him he just got prepared for when he’s made it to the second or third round of interviews for a job that he’s perfect for and they end up giving the job to someone else. Things happen for all sorts of reasons, most beyond our control and not about us. Says me who got rejected from the sorority she wanted to join in college because she was friends with another girl who had some mental health challenges (back in the early 1980s when things were much less acknowledged) and they wanted to reject the friend but didn’t want to look bad by only rejecting her so rejected me also. Told to me by my RA who was in that sorority.
