That's definitely true. I've only heard of a couple of cases where people pursued rejection feedback and got it.
One of them was very important though. A friend of mine in college graduated from a degree program with a 100% employment rate but for 2+ years could not get a job. Anywhere. He was a really charming, funny and smart guy. Interviews always went really well...but nobody ever hired him.
One time, a guy who interviewed him called to tell him that he was sorry but they'd gone in another direction. He basically broke down on the phone and begged the guy to help him understand WHY this kept happening to him after 2 full years.
The culprit, it turns out my friend had a DUI on his record. He's never actually had a DUI but he was pulled one night after working at a bar and the officer arrested him for DUI anyway. There was nothing in his system but he had to stay overnight anyway for some reason. The arrest was never removed from his record and he had no idea it was showing up in background checks.
Once he got it corrected, he got a job almost immediately and is doing really well now, 15 years later.
I honestly wonder what would have happened if nobody ever told him about the problem.
