Is it inappropriate to ask why I was rejected from a job?
jacquesm: For sure. Keeping the channels open is always good, and to ask for the reason for your refusal is a great way to do so, as well as a chance to learn some more about the whole process.Not all companies would respond to such a request though, because they're afraid that if you get your reason you will sue them under some equal opportunity rule or some such, so be prepared that you will not get an answer, or make it clear in your request somehow without laying it on too thick that you are asking out of curiosity.
