Networking Question
I went to a networking event last week and had a really nice talk with an attorney. He gave me his business card, but I didn't give him one because I don't have any. I'd really like to keep in touch with him though. Should I e-mail him to follow up and give him my contact information for the future?

Re: Networking Question
Generally yes. Although judging from the anon nature of your poast, I'm guessing this is a VERY exclusive contact of VERY sensitive situation, so I'd tread lightly.Anonymous User wrote:I went to a networking event last week and had a really nice talk with an attorney.

Re: Networking Question
Good call then. It would be bad if other people from your school food out you were going to PREFTIGIOUS and EXCLUSIVE networking events, of which there are only like 1 in your market at any given time.Anonymous User wrote:OP here.

Re: Networking Question
Just a heads up: the mod team is open to feedback on this policy (Q&A thread in the lounge, if you'd like to do so), but our current policy on anon abuse is primarily to concentrate on anon usage that is ass-holish in nature. To anyone who was curious, this does not qualify.

Re: Networking Question
Is this the consensus? Does that mean just write a quick 2 or 3 sentence email, mention something unique about the conversation you had, and thank them and add a little hope to see you soon comment?Rock wrote:Short and sweet.
