using the email address and phone number you submitted. If you get the mail, you are

good to go. If not, please check it again.

There is also the possibility that you present a weak application. It means your
application is not good enough and cannot compete with several others submitted for the

same opening. Every employer wants the best hands. That is the reason they call it
recruitment exercise. It is a vacancy meant only for the best hands, so it is survival of the

fittest. Your competences, skills, qualifications are weighed and compared with other

applications in the system. You are rated against the backdrop of selected shortlisting
criteria that show how well you fit into the expected roles of the vacancy. All the

applicants are rated. A cut-off point is decided and if you do not get enough scores to
beat the cut-off, you will not make the interview list. That is the way it works. There is the

need to strengthen your cover letter, review your CV to match the job requirements, and
adhere to every instruction given on the application. This is one way you can earn more

points.

It could be possible that there are too many qualified people for the opening than you

are, thereby raising the selection bar. It may also be that it is not yet your chance, and
there is nothing you can do about it. But no matter how it turns out, do not be hard on

yourself. There is always another time, and if you do not give up, one day you will be
called back for an interview.

If they do not call you for interview, can you find out why?
