if you had interviews for a job your really wanted and didn’t get it, would you go back and ask your interviewers for feedback? I’m not sure how to ask or if I should

I don’t see what’s wrong with at least asking, just prepared to hear some scathing feedback, or hear nothing at all.

There is no harm in asking for feedback, and it shows how serious you are about the role. However, my experience of recruiters/interviewers is that they very rarely give honest feedback - it's like if you lose a pitch, then they always tell you it was really close and you came second...

There are legal reasons for why they are reluctant to give you candid feedback. I actually have to disagree with director 1. I wouldn’t use the word scathing, although it’s not impossible. Often times you’re a fine candidate but they just think someone else is a better “fit” but they may truly have though highly of you. Hiring is incredibly subjective, superficial, and qualitative. I wouldn’t sweat it

You can try.

When I use a recruiter they give feedback but it's always generic, like "didn't seem engaged" or some bullshit.

I have had an interview go sideways and not get the offer, but the person interviewing me gave me a business card and said if I needed a career mentor they would help me which was odd.

How often do you think you will be traveling in 2022 with COVID mostly behind us? In the final interview/negotiation stages with an agency focused on pharmaceutical marketing as an Account Manager. Offer states up to 30% travel (but was told 20% is more realistic). No further info given such as location of accounts I'd be working on or a baseline other AMs travel. Feels like a red flag. Not interested in much travel. Quarterly is manageable. Any insights from others in similar roles??

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
