YAJT: Possible to ask for reconsideration after getting rejected?

[RagingBITCH]

No point now...3 seperate phone interviews, 3 times you were "late" or "delayed". Once enough looks bad, twice is terrible, 3 is unforgiveable. I'm surprised you even got 3, to be 100% honest with you. Take it as a lesson and move on.

Appealing is generally the hallmark of a douche.

Sorry.

The infinite is possible.

First round interview: I was prepped and ready (let me remind you, I'm temporarily in NYC and finding a quiet outdoor place to interview is hard. I can't do phone interviews indoors, I come off better outside). I was waiting for the phone call and there's a problem with my phone in a 1 out of 5 chance that the phone will send the caller to my voicemail when I try to answer it. This is what happened. She called back and we interviewed.

Did you try eating an apple instead of going outside?

You don't live in the real world, do you?

i wouldnt bother calling. it is not going to do any good. they have written you off (rightfully so).

calling is just going to make you look worse.

hopefully you have learned something from this though.

It's been said in this thread, but remember unless you're some super special applicant or they are courting you specifically, you're going to have to bend over to their whim.

Three calls each time going to your voicemail doesn't reflect well on you. Then when they call you again to talk about the next step, it again goes to voicemail which sadly was probably the final nail in the coffin. Also, it seems you know that your interviewers preferred method of communication was telephone yet you emailed. I prefer email too, I hate telephone calls/interviews but if that's the way the company I'm interviewing for wants to do it, then I'll live and die by my telephone.

While I don't think you were irresponsible or whatnot, take it as a life lesson. Impressions from things as simple as picking up the phone will matter as much as what you say and how you say it. You could have been a very impressive candidate but it probably irked them they kept getting your voice mail. While you're stating it wasn't always simply that you didn't pick up and there was an outside influence they don't know that and frankly they probably don't care.

I know it sucks to not get the job you want, and even if you had the office visit it doesn't mean they'd hire you. Get a reliable phone, live and let live. There are enough other fritolays-types out there they get applications from and just like colleges they can afford to be picky. There could have been someone just like you as well researched who picked up the phone. Sucks but that's the real world, they'll distinguish you in as many ways as they can and in this case that probably worked against you.

so I take it this was the job you really wanted. Look at the bright side, at least your decision should be easier with one less option.

btw, I agree with everyone else - 3 strikes.
