Correct List.
by iota on Apr 02, 2014 11:11 PM  | Hide replies

1. You are brighter than Hiring Manager (Most Common Reason for Rejection at Higher Levels)

2. Hiring Manager has nothing in Common with You - like Worked at Same Company, Know Common People, Belong to same Lingua Franca.

3. You did not send resume through preferred Placement Consultant or preferred mode to HR.

4. You don't look like someone who will wag his tail vigorously at the sight of your Manager.

5. You have a mind or intelligence of your own.

There is very little MERIT BASED Hiring in India, beyond 5 years of experience.

Totally Agree with Akshay Singh's list below.

Human Resourses are wasted in asking candidates to wait wait and wait

5 Reasons

5 reasons you will most definitely fail your job interview

1. You don't know the hiring manager.
2. You know more about doing the job than your hiring manager.
3. You are not related to anybody currently working in the company you are interviewing with, who can vouch for you.
4. You look "untrustworthy" to the hiring manager, that is, you look like you won't be a YES man. OR you give your hiring manage a huge inferiority complex!
5. You are a direct threat to your hiring manager's job in the near future, that is, you are fully qualified to replace your hiring manager.

Absolutely correct Akshay. There is no meritocracy in India. The truly deserving are shortlisted, called for farcical interviews when the decision on whom to hire has already been made. And one more reason 7. You didnt pay off HR!

Very well said Neeta S. Truly Deserving are called only for Farcical Interviews.

Reason 7 is interesting. Has anyone heard or seen anything to coroborate this sort of a thing?
