6 reasons your job application is getting rejected instantly

You are a Top Talent – Applying for jobs BUT getting rejected?

Don’t know why?

Below are top 6 reasons you are getting rejected that you don’t know

Reasons/Logic don’t matter because you will never get a chance to speak to the decision makers. (If you want to explain then do it on top of your CV)

Unfortunately repairing all these are extremely difficult and long term activity – so try that these issues never occur in your career.

1. Average Tenure

This is calculated as your number of years of experience (post qualification) divided by the number of employers you have worked with (including the current). Ideally this should be greater than 4, but if this is lower than 3 then you will get rejected automatically.

2. Long tenure

If you have worked with the same employer for more than 10 years then this is a red flag (unless you had new challenges, responsibilities and promotions every 3/4 years). Again here you will get reject in most of the cases – since you have never worked out of your comfort zone and are frog in the well.

3. Reference checks

Here is where most of the people die unknowingly. Top recruiters do blind reference checks and if you don’t have good relationships with your colleagues or bosses in the past then you are already rejected.

4. Force fitting

Don’t apply for any job without going through the JD and details that are being shared with you. With your experience identify what are the top 5 criteria the employer is looking for. Next evaluate yourself – if you don’t rate 80% on these key criterias please do not apply. You will get rejected at some stage anyway if not on CV. Do not try to force fit yourself.

5. Missing Info

Do not try to hide your employer name, age, career gaps, or other things. Good recruiters will find out anyway. If you are not mentioning dates of experience and qualification and age in your CV then the recruiters will immediately start suspecting you. In all probability you will get rejected without any communication with you.

6. Info mismatch

All top recruiters check your linkedin profile and match it with your CV. Please ensure both are matching. Also check if older versions of your CV are floating on various job portals. Also if you are not updating your linkedin regularly then you are hiding something and you will get rejected outright in such cases.
