Why didn’t I get the job?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You complete the application and get an interview that you thought went very well. So now you are wondering, why you weren’t called!
Most companies are not going to tell you why you were not selected and for good reason. They are attempting reduce their liability from those who can’t handle the truth.
Employers are not required to divulge the reasons why they did not hire you. As long as they are not discriminating, the employer has the right to choose candidates that they feel will be the best fit for the job. This is a judgment call, based on education, experience, job references and the actual interview.
Many employers rely on testing methods, which can be good and bad. Tests have a certain amount of accuracy, but there can be too much emphasis placed on tests, which can reduce the amount of diversity in an organization. If everyone in an organization is a perfect fit, how do you get different perspectives, debate and critical thought?
My suggestion is, if you really desire to work for this company, continue to be persistent in your pursuit. It may take a couple of years. Otherwise, move on.
How you been left wondering why you didn’t get the job? Or did you get a nasty reality check instead?

There is a Nursing shortage.
There are many older efficient nurses who are still in the workforce, When we apply for jobs, many young recruiters think we are too old and do not consider hiring or even interviewing us!!!! Of course, they do not “say” that age is the non hiring/interviewing factor, they just do not call us. The older nurses are knowledgeable, well organized and problems solvers and people pleasing. Most of us do not have BSN or MSN, actually it does not take the higher degrees to be a efficient nurse. We have LIFE EXPERIENCE.
