Interview Feedback

[MarillionFan]

Thanks guys. Yes am basing on the fact that this will come to nothing, but still want to speak to the agent next week to tell him what an incompetent idiot he is...

At the end of the day, you weren't competitive or experienced enough.

In the market place there is always someone better than you who gets the gig if you don't.

If you do get the gig everytime. Then you're me.

YEP!

I don't even bother ringing the agent post interview - they only want to know what questions were asked so they can prime another candidate.

If they want me - I can't get rid of 'em.

I always seem to get the urge to sabotage the next candidates by giving the agent bad advice. For example, telling the agent that the interviewer had comedy socks and tie on and seemed disappointed at my sober interview attire.

Oh, that was YOU was it?

If I apply for a role and am not progressed for interview, then fair enough I do not expect to hear back from the agent. However, if I apply for a role, am offered an interview and then go to the interview, I then expect the agent to provide feedback regardless of whether successful or not. This should be part of the service the agent is providing.

I am not saying in this instance this is what has happened, only that it looks like a no go and I want to discuss with the agent, hopefully on Monday if I can get hold of him.

Appreciate the steer you are trying to provide, I trust the above clarifies the point I am trying to make.

We know what you are wanting from them, but sadly that is not how it works, in contracting certainly, in permie interviews it can be typical too.

The agent is not providing you a service, and if you don't get the role then he couldn't give a crap about anything other than how to get one of his other candidates in (though, maybe yes, he is putting off talking to you to keep you as a backup)

What exactly do you think he will tell you? Do you think the interviewer (or whoever at client co) will tell him exactly the reasons x y and z? Even if he does, do you think the recruiter will want to tell you?

Now, some agents will give you feedback, but most won't -as others have said, if you have the role, they'll be all over you.
