Job Search Myth #3: The Best Candidate Always Wins

This one stings a little:

Myth #3: The best-qualified candidate always gets the job.

Truth? It’s not just about qualifications. Fit matters—a lot.

Companies want someone who:

  • Aligns with the team dynamic

  • Communicates well

  • Understands the company’s values and mission

If you’re applying based on qualifications alone, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle.
