Job Search Networking Begins By Staying in Touch

LinkedIn’s AI created this scenario:

“You may have left your previous job for various reasons, such as pursuing a new opportunity, changing careers, or relocating. However, that does not mean Networking

you have to cut off all ties with your former colleagues. In fact, maintaining a professional relationship with them can benefit you in many ways, such as expanding your network, getting referrals, or receiving feedback. Here are some tips on how to stay professional with former colleagues after you move on.

Keep in touch

One of the simplest ways to stay professional with former colleagues is to keep in touch with them regularly. You can use email, phone, social media, or messaging apps to send them updates, congratulate them on their achievements, or wish them well on special occasions. You can also invite them to virtual or in-person events, such as webinars, workshops, or meetups, that are relevant to their interests or goals. Keeping in touch shows that you value their friendship and respect their work.I added: “The best way to stay in touch is to continue the conversation as though you never left. You may not see their face as frequently (although often we rarely do these days anyway). Talk about the work, ask questions, help them if they want your help, ask about their wife/husband/partner/kids/dog/cat/snake . . . There will come a time when you will need one another and although you may not speak as frequently as you did when you worked together, it will easier for you both to pick up with one another and want to help one another than if drop all contact, suddenly surface wanting help and coming across as “one of THOSE people.”
