Usually it goes "it's not you, it's me...".
Yes but in life as in dating, I'd like to know why I'm not a match.
Knowing the posting was inaccurate for what you're looking for is better than wondering why one got turned down for what seemed a perfect fit.
Instead of asking "what went wrong", maybe you might want to ask "is there anyone you can recommend or do you think that something / someone else might be a better fit"?
I really like this idea, I guess I never considered this as a possibility before. Nothing to lose by asking, though.
- ams6110 16y agoI think in many cases, like in relationships, it's intangible. The hired candidate just "clicked" with the interviewer(s). Also mentioned earlier, anyone who has a referral from a current (competent) employee is going to be greatly preferred over any candidate that nobody knows. The first two jobs I had after college I got on my own, everything since then has at least partly involved a referral.
