5 Solid Reasons Why You Didn't Hear Back From The Interviewers/recruiters by Jamieb(m): 1:47pm On Mar 24, 2015
From the moment you step out of the interview room, your
eagerness and anxiety increases. You simply want to know
the next step -to hear back from the Interviewers. You
become more glued to your phone so as not to miss any call
and your email is always the first thing you check in the
morning and before going to bed.
Most frustrating is the fact that You knew you ought to ask
some questions in a job interview which you rightly did.
Funny enough, unless you have an inside connection in the
company, you probably might never know why you were
never contacted but for those who didn’t, here are five solid
reasons on why you never heard back from the
Interviewers/recruiters.
1.Mistakes in your Resume: There is no greater turn-off to
an interviewer than a mistake-riddled CV/resume. No
employer wants to place responsibility into the hands of an
employee who can’t even write a document about
themselves without mistakes. No doubt, your CV must first
create an impression to the recruiter before you are even
called up for an interview. If you know pointing to details is
one of your weak points, it’s advisable to proof-read it well
before the final submission or you get someone to do it for
you.

2. The Interviewers/Recruiters Haven’t Made Up Their
Minds: Getting back to potential employees can be a
daunting task to recruiters/interviews especially when all
the candidates for the post all seemed to be qualified. When
this is the case, be sure that the recruiters are still in doubt
about the best person for the job.
3. You are Simply not Qualified: Long term job search can
force you to churn out sporadic CVs and resumes to
positions you are not qualified for. Doing this won’t help you
at all rather you can channel your energy on things you can
be doing if you are unemployed.
4. Poor Interview Skills: Your CV/Resume is an award-
winning one. and so what? ( Paying a professional copy
writer to write or edit it for you is as simple as ABC. I am
not saying it’s Wrong. I encourage it as long as it will land
you an interview). Know this, the words on the paper is not
enough to land you the job the words coming out of your
mouth are riddled with grammatical blunders
While slang in an interview is a total no-no, try as much as
possible to avoid the use of ” yeah”, ” eh eh em¦¦¦. (you
would simply be perceived as not being confident and
tenable to lying). This alone is enough to turn your
Interviewer(s) off and make the whole interview process
boring.
5. Your Social Media Speaks Bad About You: This might be
Strange to you. Recruiters are simply adopting ”ridiculous”
means daily to disqualify applicants especially when there
are two qualified candidates for a single post. A background
check on your social media profile might be all the employer
need to decide hiring you or not. From your LinkedIn,
Facebook account to Twitter, always maintain some levels
of professionalism. Using a female picture as your Display
Picture when you are a male is darm unprofessional as a
job seekers. You probably don’t know who is watching.
BONUS
6. your Appearance is off the Hook: While a first impression
goes a long way in endearing you to your potential employer
(s) the truth remains that recruiters are continuously judging
a book by its cover daily. Even though we castigate
recruiters who do not do enough to see the potentials of
those they are interviewing due to their shady appearance,
as an applicant, try as much as possible to keep in touch
with the fashion trends of your day. An eighteenth century
dressing mode in this age is enough to shut the door
against you.
Over to You
Off course there are so many other reasons that are not
listed here, we will appreciate you sharing it with us through
the comment box below.
Be Social
Reading is good but sharing is better. Someone( who you
might even know) somewhere need these tips right now.
This is amongst the ways you can encourage us to improve
better.
