You're getting downvoted because a large number of people who spend their weekdays voting on internet comments are not working.

Working is easy. Maintaining a predictable and comfortable work environment for a team of people also trying to get through their day while meeting larger goals for the company is very, very hard. The interview process is where the actual decisions are made by managers like myself, because I am responsible for a dozen people's lives and workdays, I have to make sure anyone I add to their daily necessary interactions isn't going to be a massive piece of shit who will disrupt everything.

I will always choose lower qualified people with better attitudes than people with sparkling resumes who seem "off" or like they're going to be a problem.

I fully expect to also get reamed in the voting process here, but if you feel the need to attack this basic fact of life that the needs of the existing and working team outweigh your unique personality and identity, you're exactly the kind of person I screen out at hiring interviews.
