This is every jobseekers' nightmare: they seem to be the perfect fit for the role BUT things go wrong at the interview or they don't get the job anyway!

In this article, we will disclose 7 'nonsense' reasons why hiring manager rejects your application even though you fulfill all the criteria. From favouritism to "I'm looking for a woman with curvy shaped and long hair for this position" we have them all covered. Check it out!

1. A sudden change of criteria

The moment you read the job advertisement, you realise you meet all the requirements and you're overjoyed to try for it! You went for the interview session and the hiring manager suddenly said "we need someone with 5 years experience." Excuse me, but the job advertisement said you wanted someone with 3 years experience? What's with the sudden change! The job requirement gave you false hope and that's so cruel!

2. Not understanding your resume

The hiring managers are squinting their eyes when reading your resume, or have a confused look, then rejects your application. Maybe you've used too technical or complicated words that they can't understand, or worse, the hiring managers themselves don't really know about the position you're applying for! 

3. "You're overqualified for this position"

Well, you met and exceeded all the requirements, and that makes you too good for the job. But then why they didn't hire you? Possibly the hiring manager is concerned that you'll demand a high salary and ask for a lot of perks. They rejected you without even trying to negotiate with you, so sad.

4. Just because you're not their 'type'

Honey, it's not your fault. You're eligible for the job but you're not what the hiring manager expected. Yes, they may have their own personal requirements such as gender, age, physical looks and many more. If you really want that job, try to showcase your talent and your knowledge and prove to them that your gender, age or looks is irrelevant.

5. "The position is only open for accountant graduates only"

Some industries or companies can be very flexible in hiring new staff but not all are. For example, the job opening is for Accountant position and it's open for everyone with experience even if you don't have any educational background in accountancy. But remember, not all companies are like this okay. 

6. Favoritism everywhere

It happens and we can't deny it. The top-level people tend to choose their own kids, siblings, family members, and friends for job openings. Regardless of if they are actually qualified! Your chance to get hired could be very low, so keep walking.

7. "I want to hire you but I can only offer you this much"

This is the example of a cheapskate manager. They want to hire you but not willing to pay you as you requested. Even worse, they offer you a salary lower than what you were promised. Do you think it's worth it?

Now you get the idea right why hiring manager still reject you even if you fit the role. But don't give up! One door closes, another door opens! Maukerja will try our best to feed you with updated tips and secret on how to secure a job. Click on the articles below for more tips.
