12 Why Didn’t They Apply? Popular Reasons for "Other": Login for employer's ATS was not valid, Have not had a chance to apply yet, when I read the full description I realized I was not qualified or faced a work restriction, no openings were available near my location, job description was unrealistic

13 Accommodation Request Popular Reasons for "Other": Afraid to ask for fear of losing opportunity, told that I was not qualified and so request was not necessary, insensitivity towards a particular disability.
