Dear Anaya.
I start the post with a very truthful but harsh truth “Now day’s companies are really not interested in the candidate once he/she is rejected for a certain position.”
A feedback will only be possible if the HR executive (or whoever you are interacting with) is able to give you that much of time to give the candidates a feedback.
Point No 1: Apart from recruitments they have other areas to look out for. It sometimes would be very unfair of you or even me, to ask for a feedback from them. I know it takes 2-3 minutes but sometimes they can’t afford to do that.
Point no 2: Sometimes the HR executives don’t even know why the particular candidate is rejected, as they are not the hierarchy or in that league to ask the VP (and in the bargain risk their neck, job and position) the question “Why”
I am also a fresher (just got a job) and after every failed interview, instead of looking at the HR Department of the concerned company I often look back on my interview and start thinking or anticipating where I went wrong and what I should have done. This is self-training which every applicant regardless of its field has to start doing. All sorts of training answers go flying out of the window once you are sitting in front of the interviewer.
Listen, internalize and then improve.
Point No 3 Sometimes when feedback is given to the rejected candidates, the applicants start arguing back with the company representative. No one wants to get into this mess!
Point no 4 I feel that the fact you were called thrice gives me an indication that your knowledge base is very good/strong. But maybe at the end, you did not fit the profile / you did not fit the personality they were looking for that position.
Let me point out that there is nothing wrong with you or your personality and attitude but because of certain reasons they require a particular type of person to handle the job effectively.
They sometimes in the third round make you undergo stress interviews and how you handled them or rejected you because they just maybe found a candidate better qualified and more confident than you.
You may never know. We all go through this.
I am also in no way justifying what they have done and hopefully when you do get the job and you are in such a position, I hope you will be able to give feedbacks to fresher then!!!
It indeed would be very helpful.
For the next interview, chin up stand tall be confident and HONEST. If you don’t know something say “I’m sorry I don’t know but I will definitely look it up.” Don’t come up with vague or fake answers
All the best for the future
