Amazing, sounds lie Sci-Fi. I am at 1.257 : 6 ratio now. I have heard many rejection excuses, but "people who have knowledge don^t do well here" is a new one to me. I am intriqued to use it for something.

Recently I was at HR department when they just finished online job interview with somebody. Two girls mid twenties discussed - "he was looking down, did you notice? He apparently has some psychological problems. We will reject him".

So yes, you are right, job hunting is a casino. For me it started in my 24, when I became "overqualified" for the first time.
