Throughout your college and professional career, staying in touch with those who have helped you along the way is a must. Sometimes it is difficult to stay in touch with everyone but taking a few moments to drop a quick hello can go a long way.
To stay in touch, you don't necessarily have to have a person's address or go visit face-to-face. Simple ways such as thank you notes, short emails, and other simple reminders can help you stay in touch with those who have helped you along the way.
Below are some quick and easy ways to stay in touch:
1) E-Mail - taking a few moments to send a quick e-mail to check in is a great way to keep in touch. Try not to keep the e-mails really long (just a couple of quick sentences) and take time at the end to ask how the other person is doing.
2) Saying Congrats- if a contact of yours has been rewarded publicly, has been acknowledged for an achievement or has gotten a promotion, taking a few moments to say congrats via e-mail or regular card can help. It shows you care enough to send a person a note recognizing an achievement and will keep you fresh in that person's mind.
3) Simple Reminders- taking time to get to know network contacts as people is important and if you come across a keepsake or article that would be of interest, take a few moments to send it to that person. This is a great way to catch someone's interest and will show you remembered the other person's interests
