Have you been through a company’s selection process?
REJECTED???
Most company’s selection process has multiple rounds of selection tests. And you could be shown the exit door after any of the rounds. Why?
Numerous reasons simply! Let’s check out a few ‘fun’ reasons…
Interviewer did not like your appearance
However much the corporates explain that their selection processes are unbiased and totally objective, their are individual perceptions of the interviewers that could creep in into the process. No particular reason for the disliking – just he didn’t prefer your appearance.

Usually this gets avoided with the presence of multiple interviewers but sometimes it can show up.
Interviewer was in a bad mood
Maybe the interviewer’s watch/purse/document got misplaced and the BP had shot up :). When in a bad mood, however nice and accurate answers you give, they won’t accept you even if they accept your answer. That’s human tendency!
Culturally unfit
What is ‘the way’ the organisation works? What is the way you work? Is there a mismatch? Maybe you prefer to be too ‘casual’ or ‘direct’ in your approach. Or you are too ‘perfect’. Or something else that doesn’t match the organisation’s ways. That could also explain the reason.
Today culture-match is given prime importance in most MNCs across the globe due to high attrition rates. In fact organisations use Behavioural Interviews and Competency-based interviews to test their past behaviours and assess the culture fitment. They definitely want candidates who are right fit for them.
Your KSA didn’t match the requirement
KSA expands as Knowledge Skill and Attitude. Of course if any of those don’t match the required expectations no organisation would want to have you.
Suppose the company is hiring for a Software developer position and you don’t have core programming knowledge or other competencies to the level expected. Then why would they hire you? Sometimes a few companies do look forward to hiring a trainable person without the KSAs and then training them.
So even if you have got rejected, look forward to the next opportunity as, for various reasons, the result is not something you can control always.
Yes all the reasons make you NOT GOOD ENOUGH! However, this is not in general… but only for this particular organisation where you appeared for the interview. This ONE organisation!!! There are billions more
The right company will definitely hire you!
