Jackson didn’t get the job since he had all the necessary qualifications.

It contradicts the logical expectation, leading to confusion. A more accurate sentence would explain a different reason for not getting the job.

No change

Jackson didn’t get the job if he had all the necessary qualifications.

The word "if" suggests a conditional relationship, implying that Jackson not getting the job is contingent on him having all the necessary qualifications. However, having all the necessary qualifications would typically be a positive factor that would increase the likelihood of getting the job, not decrease it.

If

Jackson didn’t get the job unless he had all the necessary qualifications.

The word "unless" introduces a condition, and in this case, it creates a contradictory statement. Typically, having the necessary qualifications would increase the chances of getting the job, not decrease them.

Unless

Jackson didn’t get the job even though he had all the necessary qualifications.
