I thought I did okay in the interviews but apparently the interviewers didn't think so. Is it appropriate to ask for a reason after I have received the rejection email? After all I don't want to annoy the HR person.I am a student, so not so much job hunting experience so far. Bear with me if this question sounds stupid.
Is it appropriate to ask for reasons after rejected after the interview?
interview
If you asked it like you just asked us, you'll have a much better shot at getting a useful answer.  Emphasize that you are new to the workforce and really value the time the interviewer spent considering you.  Ask what you lacked, perhaps that you could have predicted coming into the interview, that affected your consideration and eventual rejection.  Most importantly, don't be defensive.  You understand that the interviewer made a choice that was right by their own ends and you aren't trying change their minds.  It's been my experience that about a third of interviewers, just give a cagey vibe once they've decided to reject you (or even sooner), and don't really answer any questions at all past that point.  Another third are a bit more open, and will answer some questions, but not others, especially about matters that might reveal more than really necessary about their hiring process.  the remaining third stay friendly and open for as long as you do the same, and are happy to help you in this way.
