It’s important to know when to check in with different kinds of contacts in your network. For close contacts, like a team colleague turned friend who left for a different company, try monthly. For mid-level contacts, like the boss you worked with for a year, reach out quarterly. For extended contacts, like the person you used to joke with by the water cooler, touch base twice a year. And for acquaintances, like the vendor you worked with a couple years ago, send a note once a year. #networking #emails #work #careeradvice #howtonetwork #linkedin #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal | Twice a year | Once a year | Once a month | Acquaintances: | Once a quarter | Mid-level contacts: | 📝 How often you should check in with your network: | Extended contacts: | Close contacts:
