#108 - What You Need to Know About Why You Didn't Get the Job


Listen Later

Wondering why you didn’t get the job after a great interview? 
Are you totally unqualified, or applying for the wrong jobs? 
Listen to explore why this is most likely not your shortcomings, and what you can learn even if you didn’t get any feedback.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

  • The many reasons candidates are rejected that have nothing to do with them
  • What you can learn from the interview - even you don’t get the job
  • The “one thing’ companies really want, that isn’t clear from the job posting

Today we're talking about why you should never take rejection after a job interview personally.
Before you let rejection discourage you from your career goals, consider the reasons for rejection I discuss in this episode. On the other hand, if you’re not getting any interviews, that’s a different (fixable) situation.


In this Episode:
[3:00] If they bother to interview you, you are absolutely qualified
[7:50] How timing can be a key factor, or not a factor at all
[16:45] What you can gain from interviews, even when you don’t get the job
[19:00] If you’re not getting any interviews, we can fix that with Industry Insider
