Why Didn’t You Hire Me?

Source: HR Lady

Have you ever felt that you gave your all in an interview but you unfortunately didn’t get hired?

A friend of mine asked me this and since I am not in HR, I wanted to get a professional opinion.

She had an interview a few months ago, and a couple of weeks later found out she didn’t get the job.

Last week she saw that the company is advertising the position again, so she forwarded her CV to them again and said she was still interested.

The response she got back was an email stating they are “pursuing other candidates”.

My friend wants to if it is ever okay to ask them why they aren’t considering her.

She says she is definitely qualified for the position and she thought the interview went really well. She really wants to know what the problem is, both so she can “get over it” and improve on her next interview.

I told her I thought it was fine to call and ask, but that she probably wouldn’t hear anything helpful. If it was a personal reason going against her, like a bad interview etiquette , they certainly aren’t going to tell her that.

Have you been in the same position and what would you advice her to do?
