Hiring manager accidentally sends job candidate feedback on their interview, revealing their true thoughts, candidate considers using it for the next interview: ‘They said I lacked enthusiasm’

Everyone gets at least one call in their life telling them that they didn't get the job they were after. They also heard the hiring manager come up with a lousy excuse as to why they didn't hire them, something awfully general that lacks anything that might help them in the future.

Oh, what we would have done for just a little bit of honesty and actual constructive criticism.

Luckily for the job candidate in the story below, they were actually given that criticism, but not on purpose. After their Zoom interview, the interviewer accidentally sent them the feedback they were meant to send to the rest of the hiring team. Suddenly, this job candidate had all the information they needed and knew exactly what they needed to improve for the next step in the hiring process.

Is that a blessing in disguise? Or do you think it would have been better to not know what interviewers think of you, without any filters? Keep scrolling to read the discussion below and let us know what you think in the comments!

While it's hard to read such hard criticism, it's definitely helpful to have the tools one might need to secure a job. Hopefully, they will get the job, and this will all be a funny story they can leave behind them…
