Interesting thing some selection processes. I recently interviewed for a position that would have been perfect for me. Definitely out of interview practice, and in hindsight would have done it differently. When I asked HR for some feedback they kindly agreed. Curiously the feedback didn’t give any specifics about my own performance but the HR lady lamented how the two successful candidates were unable to pass induction training! Yeah!
