I went for a job interview with a company years ago just after I graduated. This was for a graduate position so I kinda made a few assumptive expectations on what they would want from me and my skills.

Went in there, did their pointless psychometric tests (which by the way litterally have no relevance to my skills) went through their interview and went out their door passing it with flying colours.

I got a call from the agent leasing with them. She was shocked to say that neither me or another they interviewed made the cut.

I graduated with a first class degree with honours in Software Engineering.

The company said I wasn't qualified enough for the graduate position!

Told a good friend and lecturer at my university about this and he said, "pass me the name of the company, i'll get them barred from exposing internships and job oportunities to other students. Your time was utterly wasted and that was a completely pathetic reason to not accept you".

The agent said to me that she would fight to testify my qualifications. I told her that there was no point. This company is not only wasting my time but your time as well. They dont deserve your time as an agent nor my skill set.

Performing well at a job takes a lot more than just technical skills.

Social skills and having a compatible personality with others on the team is very important to team success too.

May have been something else but you saying "did their pointless psychometric tests (which by the way litterally have no relevance to my skills)" makes me suspect you failed for non-technical reasons.
