You shouldn’t get yourself worked up because you didn’t get the job; it isn’t the end of the world and it doesn’t mean you wouldn’t get another.
Sometimes, it isn’t your fault that you didn’t get the job. There are so many reasons you didn’t get the job that you shouldn’t blame on yourself.
1. INCOMPETENT INTERVIEWER/ HR
An incompetent or partial interviewer might not bring out the best in you or rate you favourably even when you did well in the interview.
Also, the company’s hiring system might be flawed. Not every recruiting company have a recruiting system that would select the best candidate, and when this happens, it’s no fault of yours.
2. IN-HOUSE SELECTION
A lot of the times companies do in-house recruitment, but still advertise the job on offer. When this is done (which you wouldn’t even know), you shouldn’t blame yourself for not getting the job.
3. TOO MANY STRONG CANDIDATES FOR LIMITED JOB
Sometimes, interviewers get confused on who best deserves the job; especially in a case where there are so many good candidates with limited job openings. It isn’t your fault when this happens.
4. YOUR QUALIFICATION DOESN’T MATCH THE JOB
You could be a fresh graduate without enough experience that’s needed for the job, or your qualification doesn’t totally match what the recruiter feels is necessary for the job. When this happens, it isn’t your fault and you shouldn’t blame yourself.
You shouldn’t always blame yourself when you don’t get the job, even when you made it to the interview; it might not be your fault a lot of the times.
