Sometimes if you’re really lucky you may get some form of direction in the e-mail or phone call. However, even these are fairly cryptic and run along the lines of them “finding someone with more experience” or “you did great but we were just looking for something a little different”. Definitely not the most helpful ideas when it’s time to do some prep work for the next interview.
So here we’ve put together 6 reasons on why you didn’t land a job that seemed like a sure thing. Sure, no employer will ever really admit to these officially but sadly it happens more often than you’d think. If you suspect it’s why you find yourself still poring over job postings, keep on looking for a place that values you for you.


1. WE DIDNT'T LIKE YOU
People are different and teams that have been together have learned to function in a particular way. Likeability isn’t something that comes across on a CV and to truly find out if you’re a good fit for an organisation – the face to face meet up has to be done.

ADVICE: There’s not much point in putting on a personality you think others will like. It’ll be hard to keep up such a convincing act beyond the first month of landing the job. It’s been said before a gazillion times but we’ll say it again – be yourself (the best possible version of yourself). If the interviewers don’t understand or get you – it’s better to keep hunting for a place you’ll be comfortable.


2. YOU ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH
Wait wait wait…so people actually judge a book by its cover? Let’s not be totally naive here – employers are human and much like humans – they are swayed by superficial elements. This is not true for everyone and a true professional will always pay more attention to what you’re bringing to the office instead of being just a pretty face.

ADVICE: Make the effort before you head on in for an interview. Look your sharpest and give it your all. If you feel like you didn’t get the job because of the model look-alike sitting next to you waiting to go in – chances are you’ve just done yourself a favour and walked away from working in an organisation where productivity is more of an afterthought.


3. YOU ARE TOO MUCH ATTRACTIVE
The exact opposite of the scenario mentioned above could happen as well. You could very well be the model that walked into the interview room and didn’t get the job because – well you were much too attractive. So why is looking good costing you a job? Quite simply the interviewers may feel the dynamic in the office might change and you would prove to be a distraction to existing employees even if that is the thing farthest from your mind.

ADVICE: Sure, if the job you were going in for was a modelling one – you’re gold. But few jobs would really require stunning good looks. If you want to be taken seriously and prove you have a mind under your hat – bring along a track record of strong performance in previous roles and/or endeavours.
