I’ll try…..most times when you add the word “been” it refers to something that already happened, or happened in the past.  “Been” is the “past participle” of the word “be”

Examples with sentences:

He has a bad temper.  (means he gets mad or upset easily)
He has been in trouble because of his bad temper (means he has been in trouble in the past because of his temper.)

I have a cold.
I have been sick with a cold for 2 weeks (means I been sick for the past 2 weeks)

I had a chance to get a new job.
I had been studying all week to try and get this new job.  (means to have studied in the past week).

I have a call in to you.  (i called you today, or very recently)
I have been trying to call you. (means to have called over a period of time in the past, maybe a few days or even longer.)

Hope that helps!!

Billw I will be grateful to you if you translate this sentence in hindi.

I had a chance to get a new job. ( mujhe nayi naukari ke liye chance mila tha)

Yes, what you’ve written is correct. Or, you can write it a bit more appropriately in one of the two ways:

मेरे पास नयी नौकरी पाने का एक अवसर था । (this is literally a bit closer to the English sentence)
or
मुझे नयी नौकरी पाने का एक मौका (/अवसर) मिला था ।
