Got rejected from a job I didn’t even apply to
I had a PE VP request to connect on LinkedIn. I’m currently very unsure of what I want to do after IB and buyside as a whole, so I replied to his connect asking if he had time to talk about his experience in PE and for any advice he could give regarding my career goals.
When I finally get on the call, he just starts diving into interview questions, asking technical questions as well as why I would be interested in his specific firm. I know he mentioned that he was hiring for an associate position, but I was still completely caught off guard since the only reason I reached out to him in the first place was because I wanted to find out more about PE and see if the job would be a good fit—not if I would be a good fit for his firm.
After the call, I get an email saying that I’m not moving forward in the application process… but I never even applied in the first place. Just wondering if anyone else has something similar happen to them because this was just so strange
Hi Analyst 2 in IB - Gen, don't worry, the WSO Monkey Bot is here.... I'm hoping one of these links will help find your answer:
More suggestions...
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
My best guess, you have a name similar to someone who actually did apply and the VP didn’t realize you weren’t the same person.
I've heard that sometimes networking calls become interviews. Sucks though when you are actually trying to learn instead of using it as an opportunity to network into a role.
second hand embarrassment for the entitled vp
