I applied for a job a couple weeks ago, and was told I didn't get it after interviewing with the team in-person. Continued below!

Absolutely would send a follow up note. As someone who has done it recently and the worst (no response) has happened, it really wasn’t that bad. I think I would have regretted not even trying to ask, especially because I thought the interview went really well too. As long as you think you did everything you could to better yourself and/or your interview skills for the next go around, that’s all that matters

you might also leave the proverbial door open for the future - them seeking you out to say goodbye is a nice positive indicator! (Eg “please keep in touch if you feel like I’d be a fit for any roles you come across in the future! I really enjoyed x y z about our conversation, and know your team will (heartfelt well-wishing here)”)

I ran into the AD at an industry event this weekend, and greeted each other amicably. He even found me when he was leaving to say goodbye.

I'm bummed I didn't get an offer, as I thought I was a great fit, but I didn't take their decision personally. I would like to learn how I could improve, however.

Would it be out of line for me to email him asking what I could do to get better?

Over the last couple of months I’ve interviewed for a number of jobs and made it to second and third round interviews but never got an offer. My last interview was on Monday and I got feedback that I did not get selected because it did not seem like I was a a team player. Ive got three interviews coming up and l am wondering how I can improve my chances of getting an offer. Any ideas are welcome. I need a new job like yesterday.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
