>> It is probably one of the most important things you can do.
And I say to people all the time, "Never be afraid to introduce yourself to somebody new.
You can never have too many friends.
You can never have too many people in your network."
And that, you know-- so it starts with the introduction
but it continues with the follow up.
And so I interviewed today and maybe there was really not an opportunity.
Again, things change.
Are you going to follow up?
Are you going to, you know-- OK, this didn't align today.
Six months from now the needs may have changed.
That also goes with the initial interview.
You'll look at something and say, you know, "Here's a job description.
I'm not sure that I align with that."
But if you have the chance to go to an interview and if you're accepted for an interview, do it.
What they have on their job description today might not be the only thing that's available
in that company.
And there may be something else that's under the table or hasn't been yet brought forward
that aligns really well with you.
So, you know, never be afraid to make that contact, ask for the opportunity,
and then do the follow up, absolutely.
Follow up.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for your time.
