[quote=Anonymous]I would either meet this person for coffee or keep up with email.  Maybe they want another role or maybe they want to be friends.  I think it is always good to keep your network open because you never know when you might need someone's help and people are more willing to help if you helped them or if you stayed in contact when you didn't need something.

I applied for a role years ago and I felt the hiring person wasn't very considerate when saying I didn't get the role.  As time would have it we worked kind of together when I was in a different role.  Last year they were laid off after being where they were for awhile and suddenly asked about roles/networking/meeting/etc.  I was kind since I have been there before and gave them some ideas, but no way would I use my own network and reputation on someone who dismissed me and was rude/only used me when they needed something.

People remember.  Even if you're swamped you can send a one minute email, take a 10 minute call when you walk your dog, or grab a coffee.  People I know better I may take for lunch or grab a coffee and an acquaintance I may reply to a few emails or take a call, but it does come back to you.  Also, if I am the one asking I send a nice thank you message after.   [/quote]
