Well, that’s one way to do it …

True story relayed to me today:

Someone was hiring for a sales role and had several candidates.

Among them was a 20-something male who neither followed up nor sent a thank you note after the interview.

In a competitive process – that wasn’t going to fly for a role that depends upon great relationship-building skills.

So the hiring manager chose someone else, and told the thankless 20-something it wasn’t going to happen.

Next day, his mom called the hiring manager to protest.
