text: don't know; in all fairness, how would anyone on here know? I have to say that if you are wanting an assessment of you based on the little info we have, it would go like this for me:\n1. Your experience amount is impressive-15 years is a lot.\n2. An engineering degree is also very good.\n3. On the negative side, you have not expressed yourself that clearly here, anyway, in the English language. Better use of English would have been : Why didn't I get an interview call-back for a job application when I have 15 years experience in etc. "\n         If this displays your normal use of English, and if your resume and cover letter, and application were all written in this "pidgin" English, then you do not do justice to your education and experience level.\n         If the job you sought required a good grasp of the English language, something as simple as having a native English speaker proof-read your resume, application and cover letter might have helped you to get that call and interview.\n\n         Think about it.I am not trying to be cruel here. I only have knowledge of you as far as what you have given here in this question. This is the only constructive advice I can give you. If it was something else that turned them off you, like a felony conviction, or simpler, the wrong kind of experience, then I wouldn't know about that. I can only tell you what I see right here.\n\n             Better luck next time. At least you are working now. Many people are not so fortunate as you.
