A form rejection email is often not an accurate depiction of why you were not offered the job. Here are some other (very valid) reasons why you may not have received an offer, despite what you were told.

  • Hiring Freeze
  • Always Meant for an Internal Employee
  • Company is Afraid to Pull the Trigger
  • Found Someone Cheaper
  • Company Decided to Delay the Hire
  • Job Went to the Boss’s Niece
  • Company is Restructuring

Keep this in mind the next time you’re told “you weren’t a fit for our needs” or “we decided on a candidate with more experience” or not told a thing.

The ACTUAL reason could have absolutely nothing to do with you.

Of course, if this becomes a pattern, it’s possible your interviewing skills simply need some polishing. That’s easy enough to correct. I work with job seekers all the time in this area.

Bottom line: If a company decides not to move on with you (or never gives you any type of response), realize it’s their loss and continue to progress forward with your job search.

You only have a small window of time to determine if a company will be a fit for you. You MUST pay close attention to every aspect of your interactions with a potential employer before signing an offer letter.

Organized companies will:

  • Communicate clearly with you
  • Be on time for all interviews
  • Respect your time every step of the way
  • Turn on their cameras for Zoom calls, if your camera is on
  • Leave plenty of time for questions
  • Make you feel comfortable
  • Recognize that interviews are discussions, not interrogations
  • Clearly present and negotiate the salary and all terms

Companies who fail at these fundamental areas cannot be ignored. If you don’t feel right after speaking to one or more people at a company, than there is a good chance that working there will not be any better.

Alternatively, if you’re comfortable and even more excited about a prospective employer the more you speak with them, then that is an encouraging sign you’re on the right track.

Trust your gut when dealing with companies, pay attention to the process, and you will easily be able to make the right decision when it’s time.

Had a job for close to 29+ years. Then bad investments, managers who have no clue about the business (releasing people), and a bad economy. The job I did was a hybrid of different jobs. Now I struggle to fit in one or another job field. Plus everybody is paying low to start out because of the economy. #jobsearch #ageism #careerchange #technology #laidoff #customerservice #sales #interviews

This is a very common question you can prepare ahead of time to reduce any nerves you may have before an interview.

And, just to be clear, strengths are: business skills you have…that you’re pretty good at…as determined by you. That’s it.

Have 3 different skills ready to go along with an example for each to really help illustrate why each skill is a strength and how you’ve been able to use it in your past experience.

Also, make sure each skill you choose is RELEVANT for the role you are interviewing for so the interviewer can easily make the connection between your past experience and the current job opening.
