What are the requirements that are causing problems?

It is my view that my background and experiences are aligned to the roles I have applied to. However, even if referred by an employee, my application almost always gets rejected very quickly.

Do a networked search. Referrals are the best and sometimes only way to get in.

Did you make it abundantly clear in your resume that you are authorized to work in the US?

"There were several strong candidates and we had to make some tough calls in the end"... Why can't you be direct and tell me if the candidate you move on with has more experience, more skills, asked for less salary, you felt more connected when you two spoke, etc.?? Man, looking for a job is so tiring and discouraging

Hey Fishes,

My candidature is on hold from last 2 months in @Accenture , HR is not responding my calls, I am not able to apply for other suitable positions in the company. Can somebody help me out ..

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.

Hi Fishes, I cleared technical and MCQ round at Accenture. And got a mail stating i have been selected for HR round. Later the same day a hr called and asked me to upload all documents and asked my expected CTC and stuff. Earlier in portal it was showing interviewing , now it shows review or pending and has a message ' we regret to inform that you experience does not align with req, we will contact if anything comes up' , what does this mean. How can they put something like this?
