Is this considered acceptable or the norm?
I know for uni applications, you could email the university to ask why they rejected you (to strengthen future interviews etc.) and sometimes some would give you an honest individual answer.
But how does it work for employment? Am I right to expect a generic type-cast answer anyway, since I imagine people discriminate in terms of age etc. but are clever enough not to actually show it in their decision process. Or ofcourse, the person in question may be lacking something - which is why I'm eager to ask, to improve for future applications.
