Keeping in Touch
Perhaps someone with more experience beat you out in the interview. Or perhaps your skill set didn’t gel with the position that was open. Whatev the case, don’t assume that you didn’t get a job because the employer dk. like you or appreciate your value.
If you sent a resume to a company and got a call from someone at the company, make sure to keep in touch with the person who called you. Th person liked you enough to call you the first time. Even if you didn’t get the job offer the first time, it doesn’t mean that you won’t ever get an offer.
Hang in there. Have the presence of mind to get the caller’s e-mail address when you talk. Send a short, polite e-mail every month or two to indicate that you’re still interested in working for the company should the right position becomes available. Keeping in touch every so often is a strategy that works wonders when you ahve your heart set on a company.
