\t\t\t\tKeeping in touch with friends and colleagues can be a very tricky task for graduating seniors.\u00a0 Think back to high school and all of your friends who went to different colleges or did their own thing after.\u00a0 Now these might have been the pre-twitter or even pre-facebook days for some, but keeping in touch was still a huge challenge.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to present day and now think of college.\u00a0 The contacts you’ve made over the past 4 or 5 years can go a long way and may be valuable to you in your professional and social life, and vice versa.\u00a0 Keep in touch with these people and continually grow your network (side note: if you are interested in networking, check out the book “Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi).\u00a0 That said, today’s online and good ol’ fashion tools and techniques make it easier than ever to stay in touch.\u00a0 Here’s 3 simple tips on how to do so and continually build that bridge rather than breaking it.<\/p>\n
1) Filter through the noise, be different!\u00a0 Facebook wall posts, messages, and event invites often get overlooked.\u00a0 Filter through thenoise when keeping in touch or reaching out to friends.\u00a0 A personalized email, a twitter DM, gasp\u2026 or even a hand written letter go such a long ways!<\/p>\n
2) Sign-up for linkedin.com.\u00a0 Your friends may have contacts you may need, you may have some they may need.\u00a0 Best way to reach out to these people?\u00a0 LinkedIn.\u00a0 No need for these people to see your keg stand photos and party days of college.\u00a0 Stay in touch on this professional platform and move your career forward!<\/p>\n
3) Collect non-school email addresses.\u00a0 Your email is likely to expire a year or 2 after you graduate.\u00a0 Grab personal emails, gmails, or yahoo! mails.<\/p>\n
