Doing this one simple thing may just make them change their mind. And if not, then at least you know how to improve for next time. Rejection is simply redirection! #rejection #jobinterview #interviewtips

@carultch 9 ай бұрын

Exactly. They have no motive to provide feedback you can actually use. It isn't worth their time to give a specific response to candidates they turned down. Maybe there really is no reason. One applicant had to be the one picked, and the others had to be the applicants turned down, and there was no specific reason, you just arbitrarily didn't make the cut. Or there could be a discriminatory reason, that is illegal to use as a basis for turning you down. As long as they ghost you, instead of telling you, they have plausible deniability that it was discrimination.

@happysmith6666 9 ай бұрын

Careful HR people aren’t ever, ever going to write back because they worry you might be trying to fabricate grounds for a lawsuit. This doesn’t come across as a power move in most situations. (It would be great if it did; but it doesn’t.) It comes across as desperate and further convinces a company that applicant isn’t a good fit for their org. Take the L, remember that job hunting is a numbers game, and press on. The opportunity that’s for you, is for you. The ones that aren’t mean that you dodged a bullet when you were turned down.

@chocolotelover 9 ай бұрын

For me, it's really hard to get interviews in the first place so I always ask for feedback when they reject me so I can improve my interview skills. Once, I reached out since they never formally rejected me to ask about the interview and if they had any tips and I got the standard "we wanted someone with more relevant experience" answer, which made sense at the time bc I really was underqualified for half of what the role needed lol But eventually, I got called back, assumingly because their initial candidate didnt work out and me reaching out and asking for feedback showed that I was proactive and willing to learn. So I think this is an great tip to try while job-hunting ❤

For my current job I originally applied in November of one year, but we rejected. I asked for feedback. In march of the next year I was offered the same position as soon as they had another opening. I was explicitly told by the hiring manager that I was 1) I was only passed up the first time because they hired their current intern and 2) she immediately thought of me for the second position because I asked for feedback. If you get an interview but not the job- always ask for feedback

Companies don’t give feedback because if they don’t want to be liable if someone sues them for discriminating applicants depending on protected traits (age, gender, disability). What you could do instead is to submit a subject access request for your interview data (make it clear on the email it is one). In this case they are legally obligated to provide information about your interview, else become legally liable.
