“After interviewing, should I keep in touch if I’m rejected?”

My answer is a resounding yes!

If you’re making it to a first-round interview, that means the team liked your background enough to want to give you a chance.

Remember, most candidates do not even make it this far. So yes, stay in touch!

Rejections happen for a million different reasons out of your control.

Choosing to cut ties and not keep in touch is a missed opportunity (assuming the interview process was a positive experience and still somewhere you’d like to work).

Personally, before I was hired at Google and Facebook, I was rejected.

Afterwards, I expressed my interest in wanting to keep in touch with both of my recruiters. When new openings came up, they both reached out.

Had I given up, who knows where I’d be today.

Professionally, I can’t tell you how many times I saw this happen to candidates I worked with.

They’d interview for one team and be rejected. Then they’d interview for another team and it would be the perfect fit.

Sometimes it just comes down to team dynamics, not your skills.

Moral of the story?

Stay in touch.
Don’t take rejection personally.
Be resilient.
Don’t give up.
And remember, sometimes all rejection really means is not right now.
