Ok, you weren’t selected via an application, recruiter or company. But WHY? I’m just wondering when we’ll really understand the “whys” and might change our perspectives, or be a better applicant/professional/creative. The lack of feedbacks make us nuts.

If I told you why you didn’t get the job, and you didn’t agree we would end up in an argument where the outcome would be you still not getting the job, and me possibly saying something critical and costing me my job when “honest feedback” gets taken out of context.

Don’t get angry, stay positive and connect.

Still too shallow and not a reason. I’m a latin, had a huge struggle to get my visa, people still judge me because my accent. I can tell, I have a strong portfolio, I’ve been working with meaning for big brands. What’s incorrect with that? Is the problem my “broken english”? I’m looking forward for the day that people will look into our capabilities and personality rather than that. glamorous and worth-friendly reccos. This seems pretty far away from a fair humanity equality.

It can be any number of reasons. Most non-responses are probably because they got 100 applications and found viable people to interview before you. If they don’t hire you after the interview it could be because a client pulled out and they can no longer hire. Don’t get hung up on it. Be the best person you can be and it will work out eventually.
