do you think that my wife being russian might have anything to do with her not getting the job?

Oh, FFS give it a rest.

She didn't get the job because she's married to you. OK?

No, but I think her being a figment of your imagination might.

El Duder my ar*e!

a) she's through an agency and feedback should be through them
b) she's been told she hasn't got it
c) her husband went and got direct contact details through indirect channels
d) constructive feedback will probably be something pointlessly inoffensive like "you didn't quite have the right experience for our organisation" instead of "we don't think you're intelligent enough or a good fit for the office"

Forget it, move on , they lost, your wife has got to concentrate on those people who (might) want to employ her rather than those who don't

Why waste time on a failure? It's not going to acheive anything except possibly make them think slightly less of her

Tell her to leave it, move on and get looking somewhere else

why would you think less of someone who took the time out to send you an email thanking you for your time and asking for constructive feedback?

[Spacecadet]

ive told my missus to follow it up directly anyways.

The missus has been for a permie interview (non-IT), start date Jan 2010. Job was advertised (through agent) last Weds 18th Nov, she sent in her CV on the Thurs 19th and got immediate response with a request to meet agent on Friday 20th morning.

Met agent on Fri 20th, CV was submitted to client on Fri 20th.

On Tues 24th she gets a call for interview with client for Thursday 26th.

Attends interview with client on Thurs 26th and is positive with the role, she is told she will know outcome on Friday 27th (end of week) as manager is away on holiday for a week after. Second interviews will commence w/c Mon 14th Dec after his holiday.

No call on Friday 27th, so she calls agent on Fri afternoon and is told that client is busy, has cancelled his holiday and will get back to them next week with a decision.

Weds 2nd Dec now, and still no news.

Thoughts? Is this a loss-leader? Or do you think she is potentially still in the running for the position?

The triumph of hope over experience.

look, lets just say she is already in line for the job - and he gets an email from a respected colleague it would only back his judgment that hes found the right candidate.

lets just say he gave the job to someone else - then gets an email from a respected colleage - it could make him think twice about the candidate he has just selected.

[EternalOptimist]

i disagree - i reckon it would swing it for her.

The triumph of hope over experience.

Proof of the power of social networking my bum. Proof that gossip has entered a new technological era more like.

I hope she gets the job
