Review the following list of reasons why candidates are rejected or why they don't continue to a second interview. You may be unable to change several of these reasons. However, YOU CAN do something about MOST of these areas. Accept the responsibility to learn from your interview experiences and challenge yourself to adapt how you can modify your preparation or behavior to maximize your communication during future interviews.

- Lack of knowledge in field specialization-not well qualified
- Inability to express oneself clearly
- Insufficient evidence of achievement or capacity to excite action in others
- Not prepared for the interview-no prior research on company
- No real interest in the organization or the industry-merely shopping around
- Narrow location interest-unwilling to relocate
- Little interest and enthusiasm-indifferent
- Overbearing-overaggressive

- Asks no or poor questions
- Unwilling to start at the bottom-expects too much, too soon
