Great posts this week on people reconnecting with old co-workers and finding mentors.
Wanted to just plug how important it is to keep networking, in two ways.
- First, for you. Build a pipeline/rolodex of potential new jobs, people to bounce ideas off of, leaders in the space who have a pulse on what's next
- Second, for others. I took two calls this week from two sales interns who had reached out to me cold on LinkedIn. They came prepared, were bold enough to reach out to a stranger - we had no mutual connections. I referred one to a role at my current company and they've been through the first two rounds already this week with glowing feedback...I can almost taste the $3,500 referral bonus if things go well for them tomorrow.
Stay humble, stay hungry, pay it forward. Throw in some sass every once in a while.
