Can I ask previous job interview; what was wrong?
I had an interview not long ago (3 months) at a big international company. There was 170 applications and at the end it stood between me and another guy, the other guy got it. The manager said it was because the other guy had a more suitable background. But me and that manager found a really good and friendly tone.
So my question is this, I now have a new interview at a completly different company, could I send an email to the first company manager and say something like this:
Hi Eric. Hope all is well? I just wanted to ask you a quick question. Im having a new interview next week at "Levi´s" and Im wondering if you have any good pointers for me from our last interview? Maybe there was something you reacted on or just general pointers that Ive could have done differently.
Best regards/ L
