Why You Are Losing Jobs to People Less Qualified Than You

It is the industry’s open secret. You look at a competitor or a former colleague who just landed a massive role. You know their work. You know you are technically better than them. You know you have more experience.

Yet, they got the offer. And you got the rejection email.

Why?

The "Best" Don't Always Win

In a perfect world, the most skilled person would always get the job. But recruitment is not a meritocracy. It is a Sales Contest.

The person who got the job didn't necessarily have better skills.

• They had a CV that spoke the language of the Hiring Manager.

• They had a LinkedIn Profile that made them look like an industry authority.

• They knew how to Interview to close the deal.

You are playing the game with "Hard Work." They are playing the game with "Strategy."

The Marketing Gap

Most maritime and logistics professionals are terrible at marketing themselves. You are trained to be humble. You are trained to "just do the work."

But in 2026, silence is expensive. If you cannot articulate your value in a 6-second CV scan, you are invisible. You are letting less talented people take the seats you deserve simply because they packaged themselves better.
