[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not give them a quick call, honestly thank them for the chance to interview, and ask if they have any recommendations on what you can improve? Can't hurt to ask.

(And hopefully you already did this, but send a thank-you card to the primary interviewer and you can ask the same thing -- for a quick call or email letting you know what you could improve).

I work in HR at a big organization and this isn't an uncommon request. Could give you some insight.[/quote]

I agree with this thought. Worst case, they ignore you. But a lot of people want to help candidates, especially since you both invested a lot in the interviewing process thus far.

In general I DETEST your kind of thinking. I am a hiring manager. Candidates who think they are so wonderfully well suited often have no idea what the hiring manager is facing: personality conflicts, soft skills that critical to success, etc. Believe me, if they felt you were "perfect," you'd have gotten the offer.[/quote]
