Should i call and ask why after a rejection??
I applied for off-cycle internship with a BB in the AM division and reached the telephone interview stage but got rejected. I spoke to a partner who connected me with the HR representative before my application and they encouraged me to apply. I received my rejection e-mail yesterday but I thought my telephone interview went ok.
Should I call and ask why I got rejected? Or should I email the MD and ask him if he possibly knowns why?
Chances are, they won't or can't say why. Are you a competitive candidate for the role? In your own view, of course.
This was for an alternative asset team which I did not have any experience in. But in terms of university and background, I would say that I am a fairly competitive candidate.
I have been in touch with the recruiter for the team and have just sent him an email asking for feedback. Would you recommend I email the MD and thank him for his support and ask if there are any opportunities in the future?
A thank you note never hurt anyone, you can also ask to be considered for future opportunities.
It was just a phone screener, sorry it didn't work out. But I am sure you'll find something good soon.
Best of luck
Keep applying. At the begn of my career I got rejection for one role after an inteview with the same company and got an offe for a better role couple of months afterwards. Sometimes it is directly linked to the person who interviewed you and how you clicked with them, that is it...
Thank you! Did you re-apply when you were aware of an opening or did the HR team contact you?
re-applied. no shame.
Honestly rejections don’t mean your unqualified or incapable. It’s all just a numbers game and you may apply elsewhere and get something much better than that initial role
I hope so. But perhaps one of my disadvantages is that I do not have a masters degree?
I've politely done this after rejections, and have either gotten no response or just the boiler plate language ("these roles are very competitive" etc.). If you truly aced every technical question, then it simply came down to the behaviorals and how they thought you'd fit in the group.
Well, I have sent them an e-mail now and hopefully they get back to me with some feedback. Thank you!
Do it, you have got nothing to lose. In the call with HR, I learnt about my weaknesses and worked on them and got an offer my next AC.
