Rejection not entirely convinced by the subject matter?
Hello,
Today I received a rejection stating that I was not entirely convinced about the subject matter, for a position for which I am almost overqualified.
The interview actually went really well, I easily met the requirements for the position, and of course I'm earning at the highest level for the job, based on experience and knowledge. I can't say 40k, that would be ridiculously little.
I also have a degree, but without much experience, for the upcoming job in this field.
Not being completely convinced about the subject matter can never be the reason. My headhunter was there during the interview and was also very surprised by the explanation.
The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes and I was there for an hour.
This is really annoying because it was a good conversation and now it's a waste of time, I just don't know the real reason.
Really for a position where I have years of experience, I had an offer from a big city that offered me even more, but the city is too far away at 200 km.
What do you think the reason is?
Something personal?
Actually, that's my strength, I wasn't arrogant at all or anything.

If it were personal reasons, the company will not tell you. In your text above you get arrogant. Maybe that was the reason, or you didn’t fit into the team.
I suspect, however, that your desired salary was too high. Most companies have budgets.
Of course, you can call the company and ask again. But don’t promise too much.
By the way: Every job interview is an experience to learn for future discussions. So it’s not a waste of time.
I also think it was the salary on the one hand and something else, well then I must apply in a big city, there are more jobs.
Superbness on your part.
I have not hired numerous candidates in my life – although they were quite qualified.
The problem was that they were so convinced by themselves and their knowledge that I did not see a chance that they would integrate into the company and let something be said by me or their pre-legislators or by more experienced employees.
Of course, it can also be that another candidate simply still better suited than you.

I think it could be real, I didn’t show up like that, but the self-perception and reality are of course different.
To be honest, I would have moved to the higher profession after a year at the latest, preferably in the same company.
I didn’t let you see that.
But you have
An experienced staffer suggests your body language, your queries and the like to the job you have applied for.
Is that your dream job? An emergency solution? A transition point? That’s what you’re saying.
Welcome to reality. There are now many applicants. The company does not have to justify the cancellation.
Rather not, so many applicants do not, just cheaper
Call it and ask what exactly they think is not convincing. Maybe they’ll answer that to you
Yeah, that’s what my headhunter tried to do, that’s often working with the company, and it just wasn’t quite convincing.
I was wondering what it looks like with development possibilities, they might think. he’ll take us back?
In order not to collide with the AGG, no employer will really call a justification for the cancellation.
I’m always stupid, so I can’t learn what doesn’t fit in the future.
Maybe my answer to what I’m not doing was personal.
I answered musicians, and she said that the neighbors decided and I said I didn’t, was that perhaps quite clear?
We can’t judge it, it comes to the person and as you said.
I once said to a staffer who refused because (probably) overqualifies:
“Sorry, if I had known that only idiots were employed in this company, I wouldn’t have advertised myself!”
😄
the view of the staffer was unpaid! 😀
I once said to a financial director, who was planning to have years of experience only in 90% of the task area: They were very lucky to have already been born as a financial director.
Of course, that’s how you can grow up. People know people and the world is smaller than you think. I’d be careful with this, maybe he’s the tennis partner of another staff member with whom you’re sitting next week.
Something happened to a friend of mine. After announcing, the boss was insulted and the whole company was pulled into the dirt and was then resigned to the company where he wanted to start before the start of the contract, because their boss had received it over his network.
I also know people to whom I can tell that applicants are being acquitted in this company and their time and money was wasted – he knew my qualifications from my documents before he asked me to speak for an application. So if I’m overqualified, he doesn’t need to waste my time with an interview.
I’m not saying that you’re wrong, I’m saying you’re always in your knees with unprofessionality. What you just told me was enough in response and would not have made you look like you had 0 impulse control.
I think.
Due to labour law, companies can and will never call you reasons for rejecting your application. They don’t want you, basta, move on and try elsewhere, everything else has no meaning.
First it says:
then you say
What now?
You just didn’t fit for them, find yourself out.
That the headhunter tells you what you want to hear is clear he deserves his money with you.
Without great experience in my second degree in the same profession only higher, in the advertised profession I have more than enough experience
Then you missed the interpersonal. Can have 10 years of experience and IQ of 160 if you don’t fit in humanly, then you can also get a rejection. And as you describe the situation, and so convinced by yourself are “pff 40k ridiculous” because of it, you will probably have come over in conversation, and the personnel found it unattractive.
I’m different in conversation, of course, and the lady seemed very fond of me, but probably not the other.
What are you gonna do about it? Sue you there? How long do you think it’ll take until you get the notice?
Just because you’re “overqualified”, you probably don’t want to have you.
No, I was hoping someone might have got a similar rejection and know what the reason was.
What’s that for you?
Then work a little less to be superb. That’s exactly what happened to your “overqualification” at the possible partner.
