Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
November is a month for giving thanks and showing gratitude to those around us. Don’t miss this opportunity to reach out to your professional network and share gratitude for how they’ve positively shaped your journey! Here are some ideas to reconnect and give thanks this season:
- Write and mail personalized thank-you cards to your current teammates. You’ve probably been through a lot together these last few months!
- Think back to individuals who have been instrumental in your career, be they professors, mentors, colleagues, or friends. Reach out and let them know how you’re doing and how they made an impact in your professional life! Ask how you can support them in the next season of theirs.
- Identify people who’ve gone above and beyond in these last few months at your organization—the IT team who helped you transition to remote work, the team who has rewritten the curriculum a million times in the midst of ever-changing policy, the fundraising director who had to move all their carefully planned events online, the athletic director who had to get super creative—and let them know you see them and appreciate them.
- Follow up with professional acquaintances to hear how things are going and to thank them for being part of your network. This could be a great opportunity to further develop a professional friendship/partnership!
Your texts, emails, cards, and phone calls can truly brighten someone’s day. They also allow you to reconnect with great people and can even open the door to new professional opportunities for yourself!
