Approach to colleges should be to achieve the best grades, showcase varied hobbies and interests, and to be a well-rounded interesting human being.

 

Applying to jobs is different. Its not about showcasing how great you are and the long list of ways you are interesting.  What the employer wants to know is ..... What can you do for us?  Are you a right fit?  How much value can you add to the position, the department, and the company?

----- I believe that there are other top reasons:

 

3.  You don't have the identified skills and experience for the position

 

4.  You are not a right fit in regards to competencies
