Varun my Canadian brother! You were asking me hey Andy how are you i'm doing great would you
recommend asking the interviewer for feedback if you don't get the position thanks as always Varun
great question and we were Stacy and i noticed you'd ask this question we were feverishly looking
to see if the video that i've already created it's very such i was available and we couldn't
we couldn't find it amidst the hundreds that are waiting to be released but i am going to give you
some some insight here on that question because i know that a a lot of people wonder about that on
feedback there is a couple of things that we want you to be really careful of if you do not get the
job and you've spent time in the now we're talking about you've actually spent time interviewing
you've developed a relationship meaning even if it's through the recruitment process with the
people in the organization you've gone through it you've spoken with them they've interviewed you
they informed you that you were not hired first thing that you do is you check out my video on
how to get the job after being rejected we don't need to go into all what that is it's a classy way
of kind of tidying up the communication and letting them know you're thankful and also giving
them a little more insight into why you'd feel you'd be a great uh great candidate or
would have been a great candidate and also it tees you up to to stay in touch with them and
to say follow up in 30 days 60 days 90 days and so on now when it comes to the part about
wanting to know why it was that you didn't get the job it number one it is okay to ask however
when you ask point two is i don't want you to expect too much in the way of very very detailed
feedback probably because for for the most part organizations don't like to share things because
they they can expose themselves and run the risk of you getting upset you filing lawsuit
them saying something improper and it just doesn't do them a whole lot of good to give you a lot of
of detailed feedback however i would ask for it and then if they give it to you i
would want to make sure that you do a couple things with what they give you
if they go so far as to give you insight into how they think you should develop as a professional
to make you a better fit what you could do better communicating more effectively being more detailed
in the way in which you articulate things any of this stuff that you would construe
as something that's feedback for your personal and professional development i want you to completely
disregard and and i'll tell you why i'm not saying i don't want you to to learn something from the
feedback it's that particular type of feedback number one they are not equipped they do not know
you well enough and they don't know what's best for you and that might be their personal opinion
for what works for them individually they might tell you well your answers weren't detailed enough
you'll go to the next interview with a different company and you'll try to peel back the details in
your interview responses and they'll tell you your answers weren't detailed enough or they were too
detailed or whatever so i don't want you to worry about a lot of that stuff if they share something
with you that you can map back to what i call getting better at interviewing that is feedback
that's valuable and what do i mean by that and we're going to need an example for this one
so when when when if they said to me lanny we we we wish you would have had more experience in this
particular area now while that may sound like it's a developmental area and something that that you
were not strong in from a interviewing performance perspective if you truly had that experience
it could be that you didn't effectively articulate how that experience maps back to what it is
they need so your point from an interviewing growth standpoint is okay i need to make sure
that number one i'm highlighting this when this becomes important to them or i'm getting more
questions about this or if they didn't ask the question but i'm noticing something here on the
on the job description that calls for this it was kind of a secondary piece of of the puzzle but
something like that where you're looking back and you're reflecting on yourself did i communicate
effectively did i map what i do to what they need did i ask the right questions and all that
good stuff to help me understand what they're looking for it's that kind of feedback or or
at least at a minimum that's the lens i would use to assess the feedback if they give you feedback
so that's that's how i would look at that and i i hope that helps i i do not want you you all
you know pulling your hair out of your head uh you know if that employer was not equipped to elicit
the right information from you to to connect the dots uh that that's on them it's also on you that
you need to make sure that you are pulling it out of them and if you watch my interview
playlist on youtube there's tons where tons of videos where i talk where i talk about this so
ron i hope that helps hope you're well my friend and always glad to have you at the show
you
