I was trawling thought my email archives for something recently when I came upon this exchange from 2011. I think it’s a beautiful illustration of why it’s always worth asking for feedback.

For what it’s worth, I was offered a (I thought) better job in the meantime and had to cancel the interview – but the point still stands… HR departments are overworked and so are the people hiring you. People get lost.
