What you can do for this time -
Deliver the best resume and interviews you can (the Interviewing Series is the best resource for this I have ever seen)
Cross your fingers
What you can do for next time -
Deliver results that help your boss achieve his/her goals
Build relationships with your peers, subordinates, and leadership
Demonstrate you can do your bosses job (the 150% rule)
Develop your successor and/or reduce the burden for your replacement to be successful
There are numerous casts for all of these areas, so MT can help you improve in all of these areas.
Best of luck
