Do you think some of the dumber reasons were honest? What do you think were the real reasons some of the companies rejected you?

Please refer to the last 3 paragraphs of the article for that explanation.

Oh, yeah, I saw that. That definitely happens, a superiority complex.

I know "the real reasons you didn't get the job" wasn't the topic of the post. It's just the last paragraphs didn't really leave me with a satisfying sense of the full range of possible reasons, so I wondered if you had other thoughts that didn't fit into this article.

Also, superiority complex alone leaves a job interviewee with very little sense of what he can do differently to improve his odds next time around.

Ya know what I mean?
