If someone lets you know the position has been filled at the job you applied for and to check back later, can you ask how you could improve or ask what they are looking for?

That’s totally fine. That’s signaling that you’re serious about improving yourself and respect their opinion even though they aren’t hiring you (right now).

I recently saw a tweet from someone who said she asks at the end of every interview she attends, “What are your reservations about hiring me?” She said that it immediately makes the interviewer think critically and answer honestly in a way she can react and respond to. She said she’s been given an offer after every interview she’s done this. And if she hadn’t, she would know exactly where she had a shortcoming for the next position she applies for.

I just started asking “do you have any concerns about hiring me or any more questions I can answer about my background?” and it’s magical. Leads to honest convos. Always ask for feedback, and def agree it’s okay to ask via email for feedback! The worst that can happen is they don’t reply.

Even if it was just email correspondence and never got to the interview phase?

Happy to help! Go get ‘em!

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?
