[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best thing he can do is to ask the hiring manager for honest feedback about why he was passed over.  Does he need more experience in an area, better executive presence, or is he considered too valuable to his current team to be "stolen" by another department?  If he can get that honest feedback (and it's probably only about a 25% chance he will), that will let him know whether he should stay and try to move up, or whether it might be time to move on to a new company.[/quote]
Thanks. Yes, he has already scheduled a meeting for tomorrow. He thinks he knows why, and the reason: the hiring manager selected his good friend. So now he’s feeling a little worse because merit clearly made no difference in this case. [/quote]

Another take on that is, it's not about him. The only thing he controls is what he put into the process - he has no control over whether someone else is more qualified, had a better resume, had a better relationship with the hiring manager, etc. When applying for a job you only control one side of the decision making process.[/quote]
