I don’t think this approach would be culturally acceptable where I am from. You can ask for feedback, but it’s never guaranteed that you’ll get it. If you’re too pushy, it has the potential to backfire. People where I’m from don’t like pushy people, they do not interpret pushiness as an indication of a healthy level of confidence but rather it is seen as being rude, or impatient and potentially also aggressive or arrogant. Additionally, where I am from, feedback is likely to be generic anyway because people here avoid confrontation. People are excessively nice to people in face to face interactions, and then can be highly critical about the concerned person behind their back so to speak. Feedback that is given is often generic in nature like “there were more experienced candidates”, or my personal favourite “you’re too over qualified and we were concerned you would get bored with the role” - or some variant of that. With that said, I think it’s important to recognise that what might be good career advice for some will be terrible advice for others. There is actually places you can go to get coaching on job seeking that will give relevant advice to the local culture, and also the industry you’re seeking work. I actually rate those kinds of services quite highly and think it’s money well spent in terms of personal & professional development.
