Ask. For. Feedback.
Seriously, this is what annoys me most about people I've interviewed - they rarely ask why they didn't get the gig.
Sometimes because they didn't answer the coding questions, sometimes its because we found lies on their CV, or we had 3 candidates who were better qualified.
If you don't ask, you'll never know the reason.

My guess is most of them never ask because most companies large enough to have a legal department tell their interviewers and managers not to answer that question.
- danielweber 14y agoThe company will generate a very small amount of good will (maybe) by giving feedback, against the very scary chance of a lawsuit. I wonder if there is some way we can encourage companies to provide better feedback, like positive glassdoor rankings on companies that do it.
- lawnchair_larry 14y agoNo point usually, any company large enough to have HR isn't allowed to answer that. Frustrating, because I'm not going to sue you, I just want to know if there is something I need to work on.
