Challenging a decline

>>18248289

is there any countr where 'why didnt i get the job?' is seen as anything other than annoying and whiny?

applying for a job is like asking out a girl. there isn't usually a reason you DIDNT get the job/girl, and if there was, it'd be really obvious to you already.

but when you got potentially dozens of people all of whom could handle the job/girl just fine, it ends up going to just whoever the interviewer/girl actually got along with. it doesn't say anything negative about anything else, it just says 'hey this person felt like a better fit to me specifically'.

jobs dont care if its perfect for your 'current situation with regards to future plans'. if you call and ask they likely wont remember why you got declined, they will just say they chose someone else. and with only one job to fill it just goes to whoever they think is best, not to whoever thinks it would be perfect for their current situation.

you cannot weasel in by asking what you did wrong they wont say 'wow, you're right, you meet the basic requirements, were gonn afire the guy we chose and go with you'.

I know my want for the position isn't an argument, I wrote that to explain my motivation for this thread.

Fuck off, they hired someone better than you, that's why

I don't know, man. People also told me to call a job while they where evaluating who to pick and it broke down as some mindgame to put you in their heads which is supposed to increase your chances.

people aren't as easily manipulated as you think. if they were, you'd be in their position.

i remember being told to go in and ask about the progress. I showed up at the job, i called, I emailed, the guy said he was desperate to hire and was understaffed and that hes just been too busy to get to it yet but he'll definitely give me a call.

never heard from him.
