Why Didnt I Get The Job

Why Didnt I Get The JobWhy Didnt I Get The JobTen popular reasons that prevent job applicants from receiving offers.While there are hundreds of reasons why job interviews dont go as well as they could, some are more common than others. Though, contrary to popular belief, not all outcomes are the interviewers fault, nor are the outcomes always in the interviewers control. Here are ten popular reasons that prevent job applicants from receiving offers1. The interviewee has not done his or her research on the companyWhen the interviewee has not done his or her research on the company they are interviewing with, there is virtually no gunst der stunde they will get the offer. Despite how much the company likes them as a person or how fitting their past experience is, showing a lack of knowledge regarding the company youre interviewing with results in instant rejection.2. There is a disconnect in personalities between the interviewer and intervieweeIts not uncommon for the personalities of the interviewer and interviewee to clash. While the most successful people learn how to get along with others, sometimes it simply doesnt work out.3. The interviewee does not answer the questions appropriately Every now and then, an interviewer will go into the meeting with a preconceived notion of what the interviewee should say. As someone going for a job, it is difficult to successfully conduct an interview with an individual who wants a certain answer. However, it does happen.4. There are more qualified applicants for the positionIf a company has rigid background requirements for a particular job, the recruiting party will heavily analyze the applicants backgrounds and closely compare them. While factors such as likability matter to employers, applicant qualifications are typically higher priority.5. The job applicant is asking for too much moneyWhether its not in a companys budget or another qualified candidate is asking for less money, there are times when perfectly qualified candidates get turned away for asking for too much.6. The interviewees past raises questions about his or her ability to stay at one job The most desired employees are the ones who have demonstrated longevity with previous employers and can execute necessary tasks while remaining autonomous. When a job seeker has jumped from position to position, employers have good reason to be skeptical about their loyalty.7. The company decides to postpone hiringFor a myriad of reasons outside of the interviewees control, companies may postpone hiring for a previously listed position.8. The applicant does not show interest in the position I always tell job applicants to appear upbeat and enthusiastic about the job. When a hiring manager feels that a job seeker is indifferent as to whether they get the position, the majority of the time, that interviewee will not see an offer, or a second interview.9. The proposed salary does not meet the candidates requirementsHiring companies can make the mista ke of offering a compensation package that falls extremely short of the candidates expectations, which can cause candidates to immediately walk away.10. The hiring company has rigid requirementsEvery now and again, hiring managers will have artificially inflated expectations for the role they are trying to fill, which will prevent them from seeing the positive aspects of any job applicant who is not perfect on paper.There are so many reasons why interviewees dont receive a job offer. I always tell job seekers that they can only control their actions and have to leave the rest up to chance.
