 on your psyche as a serious nondelible negative remark regarding your persona.You must understand the underlying nuances or else you may end up misconstruing the whole communication. Be aware of the various possibilities for the decision by the recruiters, these are a few of the likely scenarios. By being aware of these possibilities ,you need to intelligently reflect on the ground realities, work on yourself and take charge of your career

• You are Not a Best Cultural Fit for Hiring Organization

Based on your background information provided by you to the recruiters during the interview, the recruiters inferred that you are not a best cultural fit for their organization and there is a high probability of compatibility issues few months down the line, where the training & recruitment costs would go down the drain.The better option for them ,in this case, is to find a better suitable match having cultural compatibility with the organization under consideration. Considering this reasoning you need to appreciate that you are what you are and based on your background there are different but right kind of organizations suiting you, which are a better cultural fit for your background profile.

• You Exceed the Required Profile

You are an overkill, where you exceed the required profile and seem to be of a bigger size than the chair for the present role on offer. The recruiters assessed you to be far superior than the profile required for the role at hand and decide against hiring you. This decision of the recruiters is emanating from their act of drawing the balance between being fair with both the their organization, by keeping a check on their recruitment & training costs, as well as the candidate, by respecting the right of the high calibre candidate for better employment opportunities as suitable, than what is currently on offer. 

• You are More Suited to Different Industry or Job Profile

The personality traits of the required candidate profile may vary from one industry to the other. The job in banking sector may require different set of traits as compared to those required in a media organization. Therefore you need to keep trying with the your best efforts and may also take help of the experts in developing & mastering the traits required by the job profile in the industry of your choice.Going by this logic if your aptitude and competence are more suited to a different industry than the one for which the recruiters are hiring, then the recruiters might decide to leave you for the other industry.

• You are Out-Performed by Competition

Although you are a perfect match for the offered job role, you scored well enough to qualify the interview but due to limited available vacancies you could not make to the top few slots as you scored less than your competing colleagues.You are out performed by the competition, and you must utilize this failure as a learning experience for you to ensure that you are better prepared by finding out the best possible ways of keeping your best foot forward and delivering a stronger performance during the next interview.

• You Failed to Create a Positive Impact During Interview

You have the right mix of attributes required for the job role in discussion but you failed to create a positive impact during the interview. This could be due to incorrect etiquette, improper posture ,casual dressing, inadequate grooming, inappropriate communication, unfavorable first impression  or negative attitude inadvertently exhibited by you during the interview. You need to very closely & objectively reflect on the interview proceedings  to gather a clear understanding of what were the things you did right and also critically evaluate what went wrong, which you could have done better and ensuring these shortcomings are eliminated during the forthcoming interviews. 

• You May be Lacking Knowledge,  Skills,  Aptitude or Attitude

You may be lacking in either one or more of the knowledge, skills, aptitude and attitude required for the job role under consideration, If this is the case then you need to reflect on your self by conducting an in-depth SWOT analysis & identify your weaknesses to facilitate self improvement for ensuring that you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses. When you are aware of your strengths and weaknesses, you can draw great mileage by playing to your strengths ,chalking-out an action plan and working towards eliminating your weak areas so that you are better prepared for each progressive opportunity.

Success Mantra – Develop Emotional Intelligence by Channelizing Your Positive Energy

Strengthen Your Internal Voice

When you notice that your own hand is betraying your trust, you must know that most probably you have landed into the state of total or partial paralysis. By your hand what we mean here is someone, whom you

trust like your own-self and if this person betrays you, in such a situation 

you are left with just two options. The first, and the undesirable, one is get into an open confrontation with this person and the second option is to realize the futility of such worldly relationships, as the one you had with the person who betrayed your trust. You can exercise this second option of handling the set back by conserving your energy, and consolidating your internal voice. You must also treat this as a signal from the supernatural, of the fact that such dependencies, for drawing any emotional support, on any person or material object can never be a relief in the wake of the challenges facing you. The only source of real & lasting happiness can be found in living the eternal truths, as these are never changing and their validity pervades the realms of time and space.

Any Stranger Could Have Not Been Chosen by the Super Natural to Inflict This Misery on You

It is worthwhile to note here that the pain of betrayal can be inflicted on you only by people whom you trust, so there is no point in blaming and cursing them because any stranger could have not been used by the super natural to plan the infliction of this misery on you, more over the pain experienced by you is only the result of your own past actions or karma, but one thing is for sure that the person who betrayed you, did so under the illusion created by ignorance or passion , and has definitely neither understood life nor the role played by personal leadership, emotional intelligence and the invaluable internal support in achieving long lasting happiness & fulfillment. This person is no different than others and has acted with the objective of achieving happiness, but did not know the working of Maya or illusion, thereby getting trapped into its clutches. So such a person needs a lot of sympathy and best wishes to break free from the strong hold of Maya or illusion, and needs your support to overcome this handicap. Such an approach of helping this person, although, shall go a long way in developing your leadership potential and emotional intelligence reservoir, very much needed to achieve lasting peace and happiness in your life.

Intent of the Supernatural Is To Make You Emotionally Stronger

Once this realization dawns on you, utmost care must be taken to ensure that you stop depending upon such people, because so long as you continue to depend upon them, you are most likely to re-experience the similar paralytic condition in your life, with the only exception of depending on the super natural to be a non deplete-able reservoir of emotional support and wisdom. In case of any such eventuality, when you are pushed into a situation of immense unbearable pain, apart from the stated learning, the intent of the supernatural is to make you emotionally stronger because the super natural wants you to become strong enough for handling the difficult stuff specifically meant to be handled by you.

Either You Break Under Pressure or You Develop Your Emotional Intelligence

At any given time you should be thankful to such people who play a major role in the design of the supernatural by having an inappropriate behavior towards you. This inappropriate behavior can range from cheating you, breaking your trust, lying to you, being rude to you, thinking and wishing bad for you, feeling jealous of you, etc. When a person displays such negative emotions against you, you have a cause to celebrate that you have arrived and these people are laying a testing ground as an examination to qualify or disqualify you against these odds. The result of this test is measured by a simple yardstick - weather you break under these pressures by retaliating against these provocations or you develop your emotional intelligence by applying restraint, for maintaining a cool head under all kinds of circumstances and not forgetting your etiquette of consideration and respect towards others as also living the core philosophy underlined by the universal eternal truths and the divine or the right virtues

Build Proactive Emotional Muscle to Achieve the Success You Truly Deserve

You must also understand that the supernatural power needs people with high emotional maturity to take on very critical tasks, having no margin for error of any type, which require a very strong person to handle it. Therefore the degree of your emotional maturity is tested by giving you the situations with varying intensities of emotional turbulence, the idea is to see whether you get qualified or disqualified for bigger and more stringent examinations, hence there is a difference between the levels of success achieved by you as described by your capacity to withstand pressures and emotionally testing times without succumbing to them, on the contrary if you break out of the discipline prescribed by the universal eternal truths and the divine virtues, you stagnate at that particular level of incompetence till you are able to build your proactive emotional muscle to qualify for the success truly deserved by you. Therefore if you develop the capability to channelize all your negative experiences as a positive input to fuel your growth, then you would have mastered yourself and would be the most eligible & deserving person for achieving success, happiness & fulfillment in your life.

God Bless Success N Synergy
