So I tried applying to a @Disney Imagineering role and was denied because I didn’t meet the qualifications, after re-reading the description of the position, I had all the qualifications they were looking for? Has anyone else gone through something similar? If yes, any advice?

Cruise around LinkedIn and look for other people who currently have the role or used to. Look at their experience and portfolio prior to getting the role and compare it to yours. Are there gaps?

The other way to get a leg up is by finding someone who can be an internal referral for you, maybe even before a job posts publicly.

A third way to give yourself the edge is to apply the first day the job posts. Once the post has been up a while, your app might just be too far down the stack for them to give it much consideration.

Thank you for the advice! I will start pursuing those options

Was it just a canned response?

Then it did. When I was a recruiter, I only had a few disposition reasons to choose from and I had to use that one A LOT because the other canned reasons didn’t fit. 😂 Don’t take it personally!

I’ve also recently applied for a job with WDI that closely aligned with my experience and received a “not qualified” email, which definitely got me low for a second. Trying not to take it personally, but agree it is painful!

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
