Well, "grateful" isn't really the right word. "Willing" might be more like it - if they will even give up the time to do it.

Hopefully you will get them on the phone for a 5-min conversation, where they can hit the high points.

Good luck!

It may not have been the interview process that was the clincher. It may have been the overall experience and educational background that the chosen candidate had. So you could have given the best interview in the world and still not been selected. An employer will not tell you why the other person was chosen. If it's a big company, they probably won't tell you anything and would think you a bit odd for asking.

- It was my boyfriend that was chosen!! It was at a cinema, for a general assistant!

- Then I would think they would be happy to tell you how to improve your interview skills. I had no way of knowing whether this was for a corporate position or what. I was an interviewer for a corporation for 10 years, so that was the perspective I was taking.
