Job Rejection Feedback

Saddest part is that if someone declines / folds Your application w/o interview, they are hesitant to provide constructive(good, bad) feedback :/

If you didn't get any feedback as to why you were rejected, there's no point in feeling bad about it.There are all kinds of reasons companies reject candidates. A lot of them have nothing to do with your competence.Maybe they had a better or cheaper candidate come along. Maybe the open position was closed. Maybe they thought you were overqualified. Maybe the interviewer(s) had a bad day and rejected everyone. Maybe one of the interviewers is an asshole and vetoed your candidacy o

When you ask them why they turned you down, what do they say? Have you tried asking for resume feedback?

Hey, I feel you on rejection - it stings. Just remember that, like any company, that place is just a collection of humans making imperfect decisions with limited information. Trust me. Your worth isn't defined by one hiring decision.

Never expect feedback for why you were rejected. It is in the company's best interest not to explain to you why; any feedback could potentially expose them to legal liability.

Question for OP: did you attend an interview? In my experience, companies will usually provide a rejection reason if an interview has taken place, especially if you have been through multiple rounds.

I totally agree with this. Companies should give (constructive) feedback when they say no. They do not partially out of a fear of being sued, but also because they often don't know really why the reject people. The default state at most companies is rejection. If no one really liked you during the interviews, at most companies this will result in a rejection.We're doing this differently at Triplebyte. We give everyone we don't work with (who does our final interview) a several

As a tech employer, I can tell you the top 3 reasons why it's hard to provide the feedback you seek:1) Many times it's not that you're lacking in any manner, it's just that there's someone that suited the position better. It's like dating - if you reject someone because someone better came into your life, what do you tell the other person? Usually it goes "it's not you, it's me...".2) Sometimes I don't know what I'm looking for until I look. Then I get responses and realize I'm looking for

I think this write up is a good resource for those who got called into at least an interview. I wonder how does one improve if the rejections come even before a single interview? At that stage companies typically will not give you any reason for the rejection either for legal reasons or simply convenience. This leaves you hesitating whether to apply to other companies for fear they will reject you for the same unknown reason.Maybe someone who has been in the other side of equation can explain

Have you tried asking them whey they didn't select you? If you express genuine disappointment and ask what it was about you that didn't fit what they were looking for, there's a reasonable chance they'll give you feedback on the interview.
