You Didn't Get the Job — but It Pays to Find Out Why

Looking for work can be a long, time-consuming process, and while the ultimate payoff -- a job offer-- is worth the effort, it can be a frustrating road along the way. If you're like most people, there's a good chance the first interview you attend won't lead to you getting hired. The same might hold true for the second company you interview with, and the one after that.

But rather than just accept those rejections and move on, it might pay to do a little digging and see what caused those employers to choose someone else over you.
