I have had a 7 on-sites with 7 different companies. Denied from every single one of them

I have a few theories. Please don’t feel insulted but I’d rather be honest than sugar coat it.

  1. You came off as awkward o too abrasive during your interviews. They hire people first. Maybe you said something that made the uncomfortable or you were socially awkward. Idk.

  2. You embellished your resume a little and then you didn’t meet expectations. I could see how this would get you interviews but then you fail when you’re actually answering a question. Sometimes it’s not even whether you think you get it right or wrong. It could just be the way you answered it. Something about it didn’t give them confidence that you knew what was going 100%.

  3. You’re lacking in technical skills and they’re looking for someone with better skills. 3 years xp doesn’t mean anything if you can’t answer complex technical questions appropriate for your level. This is usually the hardest one to accept but I suggest you be honest with yourself.
