NO JOB OFFER CAN BE GOOD NEWS

By admin, May 24, 2008 10:00 pm

The interview was a success; you didn’t get the job.  You read right.  The purpose of the interview is to vet your credentials and persona against the needs of the company.  It is also your opportunity to vet the company.  More often than not, the match is not good so no offer is extended or if it is, it is rejected.

No offer can be good news and turned into opportunity.  The people with whom you interviewed are now part of your network.  There is no reason you can’t ask them for leads.

Write that thank-you and ask for referrals.  Tell the people who interviewed you why you liked their company and ask if they can refer you to people who know where similar opportunities might be available.  Turn your “no job offer” situation into a productive networking opportunity.
