3 interviews last week. My work is strong, but I was anxious (10 years since my last interview) and the rapport was off. My semi-articulate answers probably didn’t help. *crickets* Do I follow up?

I have been in this boat too. Thought I tanked the interview only to find out the opposite. Interviewing is always awkward. It is never comfortable being scrutinized.

Remember, you made it this far and they liked what you have to offer. Don’t beat yourself up too much.

Always follow up. Maybe you weren't as bad as you thought, consider asking for feedback.

Definitely follow up. And agree with most above that it may have gone better than you thought. If there is a particular question you’d expand on - do it. Say you’ve been thinking and you wish you’d also shared x. Good luck!!!!

I'd follow up, but more as a formality than anything. If the chemistry wasn't right but your work is strong, hold out for a different place where you feel the chemistry. It matters too much.

all candidates are nervous. a good answer that is slightly awkward is 1000x better than a bad answer/BS that is perfectly worded.

Follow up... and if the answer is no ask for feedback. It shows you care and he’ll, you might actually get some feedback
