What happens when you fail a fit test?

So I went for my pre-employment physical and I failed the fit test. I tried on 4 different masks and still tasted the liquid sprayed in the mask. Will this be an issue for my orientation? The lady told me it happens to some people and I should be fine I just might not be able to go into airborne isolation rooms. Anyone with the same issues?

I also fail the fit test - I have the special order giant mask. LOL!

I struggle with N95 fitting as well. My nose is small but my head is huge. Bigger masks won't fit snug around my nose, but smaller masks are freaking tight. And because I make home visits for TB, PAPR not an option.
