    Filling a gap in “know how to close the interview and ask for the job.”

    What responses does one have to this situation?

    What can you do if after you ask the H.R. person whether or not they will support you as a candidate for the next step but they say the company does not allow them to answer that question in the interview?

    Since there is no opportunity for a “turn around” to a “no”, one thing I can think of is then asking for what they perceive are my 2 or 3 greatest weaknesses and 2 or 3 greatest strengths. A handling of weaknesses can then happen on the spot.

    What does the “Medical Sales Recruiter” suggest?

    However, say the H.R. persons says they aren’t even allowed to tell you your greatest weaknesses and strengths. Then what’s the strategy. I’m temped to leave things be but want to get the “Medical Sales Recruiters” feedback. Maybe something else can be done in this negotiation.
