NQN reserve list

I have just recently been told that I was successful in my interview for the first NQN job I applied for however have been put onto the reserve list (which is kept for 6 months). I am struggling to see the positives in this as it was for a trust and job I really wanted and now I feel stuck applying for other trusts in the meantime. Has there been a lot of people successful in securing a job from the reserve list?
