[quote=Anonymous]Is there something else in the same company he could do? Like a lateral transfer? I don't know what industry he's in or whether it would hurt more than help, but I might contact one if the previous interviewers who gave the job to someone else, and reach out for lunch maybe, or just a phone call, and say he really appreciated the opportunity to interview with them, and wondered if they could provide some insight into his skill set. Is there something he should tweak? Get further training on? Does he lack managerial experience? Anything offputting about his work style? there are four very different generations wirking in the workforce right now and they have very different work styles. if hes coming acriss all BabyBoomer when most places have a Gen X culture, that could be a problem. Normally its not a bug problem, but in tight job markets it could make the subtle difference. Or reach out to a work colleague he trusts to try and get similar feedback.[/quote]
