Rejected for more senior role, but just saw they have a jr role available1
Today 07:41 Needadoughnut

Thursday I had a great interview, they called me a great candidate and what not.
This was the feedback:
We have now come to a decision and I’m sorry to say that we decided to appoint another applicant. It was a tough decision to make. It was clear that you had loads of great experience to bring to the role, and that you would be a strong addition to the team. But we had to base the decision on our understanding of the role, and another applicant had work experience that was more closely aligned to the day to day elements of the AM role that we couldn’t ignore that.

Would it be silly to ask to be considered for the jr role? I was going to email back.
saying that I really loved them as an agency and really saw myself working there.

From the interview and my experience (I used to have a Sr role) so even the other role was a "downgrade", obviously I don't think that as otherwise I wouldn't have applied. the difference in salary is 4k.

I guess it was my wishful thinking of trying to connect some dots. She did mention the diffy between the role I was going for and s junior role. But bshe never mentioned the latter was available.
