Interviewed But Didn’t Get the Job

Didn’t get a job you interviewed for & not sure why?

If you don’t get the job and don’t know why you didn’t get it, chances are you didn’t ask.

If you ask, only two things can happen:

  1. You will know how you can improve for a future interview
  2. You will not know the truth, but at least you tried to find out

Here are a few ways to ask in a professional manner:

“I’m sorry to hear I wasn’t selected for the opportunity.  I appreciate you considering me.  Would you give me feedback on what it was that you were concerned about, or why I wasn’t a good fit for your pharmacy?  This will help me either improve professionally or help me find a job that’s right for me.”

“I really want to work for your company down the road.  What can I do to prepare myself in my career path so that you will consider me in the future?”

Depending on how your potential pharmacy employer answers, ask a follow up question to that:

“Do you feel that there are other opportunities that you would consider me for in the company?

“From your assessment, what kind of a work environment do you think would suit me the best?”
