'unqualified' is an adjective.
'disqualified' is the past participle of the verb 'disqualified'.

If you are unqualified (= not qualified) for the job (you can't do the job), your prospective employee will disqualify you. You will be disqualified.

Unqualified means you are NOT qualified to do/enter something, like a competition, or job.
-If you are unqualified for a competition, you cannot enter the competition/job at all.

Disqualified means you are NO LONGER qualified to do/enter something, like a competition or job.
-If you are disqualified in a competition/job, it means you have violated the rule and MAY NOT continue.
