When You Meet 100% Of Criteria But Still Don't Get The Job Interview

Did you feel like this when you didn't get the interview, advance or get the offer when you met all the criteria?

This can be frustrating, because it's easy to feel that you've earned the interview/advance/offer when you meet 100% of the job criteria.

Sure, you might be getting some interviews, but think of how much more effective (and faster) your job search would be if you got more interviews, rather than losing opportunities when you're qualified.

Chances are you're using the criteria in the job description ...

... Without realizing the job description rarely contains the real criteria.

If you don't think that's happened to you, how many times have you gotten this feedback from employers (the few times you get feedback)?

• You didn't meet some important criteria (that were never on the job description)
• Found someone who was a better fit
• Hired another candidate who was better qualified (when you met all the qualifications)
• Decided to go another direction (than you)
• Ghosted, but the job ad remained live for months

The reason you didn't get the interview, didn't advance or weren't hired wasn't because you were a bad candidate ... it was because you didn't have the real criteria, because they're almost never in the job description.

If you learned where you could find the right criteria, that represented the individual hiring manager's current needs, don't you think you'd get more interviews, advance more often, and get offers more quickly?
