More than likely there is nothing you can do. Employers can make wrong or unfair decisions, but they cannot make decisions for unlawful reasons. If your age (meaning you are too old) was the reason you were not selected, you may have a legal claim. Based upon what you have written it sounds like you may be considered too young and inexperienced. Young employees (under the age of 40) are not protected from discrimination.
