We regret to inform you that we have made the
job offer to another candidate.

• This is one sentence no job seeker wants to
• hear. When you hear news about rejection
• of your candidature, you will surely wonder
• where you went wrong. If you are one of
• lucky few to receive feedback from the
• recruiter or hiring manager, then it would
• be an ideal scenario however, you will keep
• answers to the questions why and what
• precisely turned them off.

LET US BEGIN

(1) YOU WERE NOT PERSONAL ENOUGH

• Hiring managers want to easily see you gelling
  well
• with the team members and effectively blending in
  with the
• organization because it makes their job much
  simpler and
• boosts their confidence levels. You need to show
  how
• passionate you are with regard to the
  organization you
• intend to offer your valuable service to. When it
  comes to
• the roles and responsibilities, know well in
  advance what
• they are seeking, not just the educational
  qualifications or
• work experience, but your core personality
  traits. You can
• easily find this info on their recruitment web
  pages.

(2) Your Body Language was Incorrect

• It is not difficult for many candidates to talk
  their way
• through a  job interview however, recruiters are
  extremely
• savvy to this. If your body language is giving
  off the incorrect
• impression, then you cannot fool any recruiter or
  hiring
• manager. They have worked with members of the
  workforce
• long enough to comprehend your actual feelings.
  For
• instance, if you mention that you are good at
  developing
• excellent rapport with new individuals but if you
  sit with your
• body closed up or your arms crossed, it
  eventually means that
• probably lying. If you mention that you are
  excellent at
• individuals, ensure that your body language
  demonstrates
• that you are a confident and open individual.

(3) You lacked Focus

• it comes to a job interview, you need to be
  extremely focused. Be extremely confident with
  regard to what you know and not what you lack
  knowledge of. Do not make an attempt to impress
  the recruiter by mentioning more than what you
  precisely know. Just stick to what you are
  efficient in. In this way, you will be able to
  talk with supreme confidence and fluency, instead
  of fumbling for words or trying to speak about
  things that you just are not sure about.

(4) You did not walk the Extra Mile

• Recruiters and hiring managers want to
  effectively cut out
• the fluff and zero in on the ideal candidate
  as soon as possible. It can be an extremely tough
  job screening scores of look-a-like candidates.
  Things such as following up on a consistent but
  not overly basis, making your presence felt, and
  being an active and good listener instead of a
  proficient talker are the finer nuances when it
  comes to clearing a job interview. Walk the extra
  mile and put extremely high effort into each job
  position that you are applying for. It can be
  potentially difficult with the knockbacks
  however, with perseverance and determination, you
  will eventually make it.

(5) You were not effective at Laser Targeting

• Prospective employers are largely concerned with
  what value
• additions you bring to the new organization and
  what is in it for
• them. They try to judge whether you will fit the
  organization
• effectively. They lack the time to entertain
  things that do not
• matter to them. Therefore, while preparing for a
  job interview, ensure
• that your CV and cover letter are closely linked
  to the applied job
• position and specific industry. Make good use of
  the keywords that
• prospective employers use while creating job
  descriptions. Moreover,
• you should use business language but avoid
  jargon. This will enhance
• their level of trust in your abilities and make
  them rest assured that
• you have clearly comprehended the role you are
  planning to take on.
