What are reasons that someone is turned down from a job after an interview?

Sometimes I find myself doing everything perfectly and I still don’t get the offer…. I was clearly qualified because they interviewed me. I have no clue why I am not getting accepted. I have been trying to leave PT for many years now and have concluded that the entire profession is a form of scam.

What do you guys think I should do during interviews to ensure acceptance?

I have the same issue, and I always go back and analize the enterview, they should said something about it and make you realize where we can improve ourself

Usually it’s money. Someone cheaper with less experience or it’s a culture fit. Or a ghost job. Don’t drive yourself crazy. Try & stay productive.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. That makes a lot of sense!

I feel like so many jobs are filled internally and getting an interview seems like a courtesy so when they fill out the paperwork they can show they did a well rounded interview process. It is so frustrating because you get your hopes up. Good luck!!

That sounds pretty accurate

You're right that if you got to an interview you must be a strong candidate. But you have to consider that it's also a competition and only one person will win. It's possible you can do really well in the interview, and someone else just does a little bit better. All you can do is resolve that next time you'll be the candidate who edges out everyone else.

Hi All,

I need your advice here, I have recently cleared the bloomreach interview and from very begining of the processes I have informed them about the offer I already had.
I have a offer of value : X amount base +50 k variable.

Even After sharing that offer breakup they have shared their offer as below:
Base : X - 4 + 5% variable and 6 L joining bonus.
I don't think it's right decision to accept this one as I already have an offer of X amount which is 4 L

Pls give me some tips of nego..
