  4.11 ANALYZE WHY YOU DID NOT GET A JOB
   
  What to Know
   
  There are many factors that can prevent you from getting a job, such as:
  • Sometimes the company decides not to hire anyone, or hires someone with more experience;
  • Sometimes they hire from within the company;
  • Sometimes your style does not fit the style they want; or
  • Sometimes you are overqualified and the interviewer believes you will not stay with the company.
 

Notes

Rejections are part of the process and you should not get discouraged. Don’t take it personally—sometimes the company’s decision has nothing to do with you. But you should learn from every interview how to improve your interview skills. In that way, you can keep your self-esteem and improve your chances for success.

Look at the following list of factors, and think about how many of them are in your control. Start now, and work on the ones that you can get under control as you prepare for your interview.

   
  A turn in the road is not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn.
