There is the world of reality and the ideal.Idealy you may be good for the job but practically you may not be the best fit for the organization.Most times companies would like to employ those whom they know directly or through others prefeably their employee refered.So if you are competing against one less qualified than you but has been refered by their employee or friend he/she snatches the job but keep trying one day you will knock the right door and you can make your own niche.

I understand exactly what you mean when you say that you are the best qualified and still are not able to get the job. I have been in that situation one time before becuase I was the more experienced and still was not offered the job, but the job was given to someone who had no experience and had just graduated from nursing school. I guess it is sometimes who you know and not what you know.

Maybe this applicant shouldn't be so boldly arrogant. There is fine line between expressing your talents and sounding cocky about what you have to offer. Let the interviewer know that you are prepared to learn and expand your accounting knowledge.

What does the culture of the organizations seem like? Do the organizations have "super positive" cultures? Perhaps they are looking more for someone who matches their culture — it is important for keeping the existing employees happy.
The current movement in organizational cultures is toward a more open, transparent atmosphere that centers around team work.
