>> It's important to establish relationships,
but it's even more important to maintain relationships.
I think a lot of students that we have are very sociable, very outgoing, they're very likely
to make those first impressions and make them well.
To meet a lot of people you take the shot gun approach.
What happens after a while and this goes for all of us, we lose those contacts and we forget
about the people that weren't able to help us from the get go, right,
the things that we needed right away, unfortunately they weren't able
to help us and we forget about them.
Now, if you think about it, what you want
at that point might not necessarily be what you want in three years, five years
or ten years, towards your career choices.
So, I think it's very important to maintain the relationships that you have
and keep regular e-mail postings or send a post card or just say hey, I saw this article
about your company or about your role, I wanted to forward it to you.
That's a great way and an informal way to keep that relationship going because you never know.
And especially with the industry and the economy that we have, you never know who you're going
to need help and they might need your help at some point, which is another why a reason
to keep those relationships going beyond the first contact.
>> Very true.
>> So, that's my advice.
