PI: Advice

[Angel_Megs]

Hi Guys,

I've been a lurker here for some time..but I have something that's been bothering me and I'm wanting all of your advice.

Has anyone called casting/emailed the managers for your dream PI to find out why you weren't selected and what advice they could give you for the next hiring round?

I really want to do this..but I don't want to come across as annoying.

Thanks!

Hi Angel_Megs!
First to the DisBoards! I personally feel it can't hurt to ask. You might want to wait until things slow down a bit, like after the May 16th deadline. Then you are probably more likely to get an answer. The worst that will happen is they tell you they can't discuss it. My recruiter always tells me that it's not about who you know, but who knows you! If you email the person who does the hiring you are showing them you are truly interested in the position, and maybe they will remember you the next time around! I don't think you will come off as annoying; as long as you carefully word your email, you will be fine. Good Luck!
