1/ Rejection Isn't The End
Too many people completely cut ties after being rejected.
But your interviewers are people you spent 30-60+ minutes connecting with!
They know your value, they know what you offer.
They can be some of the best leads for new roles if you let them.

2/ Thank Them For The Consideration
Open your note by thanking the person and wishing them success with the hire they made.
Ex:
"Hi Jamie,
Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with me last week!
I'm super excited for you all and I'm wishing you a ton of success."

3/ Share What You Enjoyed
Was it talking to them? The culture? The mission?
Show them you paid attention and why you were excited.
Ex:
"I really enjoyed interviewing at [Company], and I especially enjoyed our chat about the future of blockchain in the health tech space."

4/ Ask To Stay In Touch
Finally, open the door for future conversations.
Ask if it'd be ok for you to stay in touch with them going forward.
Ex:
"If you're up for it, I'd love to stay in touch! Either way, have an awesome rest of the week."

5/ Stay In Touch!
Add every person who says "yes" to a spreadsheet.
Set a reminder to check in with them every month.
When the time comes, send a note asking them:
- How they're doing
- How [Specific Initiative] is going
- Mention some company news
Rinse and repeat.

6/ My Microsoft Offer
This strategy got me my job at Microsoft.
In my initial process, I lost out to an internal candidate.
I sent post-rejection notes to everyone I spoke with.
A few months later?
I used those contacts to get in the door for the role I eventually won.
