RE: Bouncing Back from Job Loss

Michelle,

Thanks for the great post. As an alumni career services director I’m

keenly aware of the need to bounce back from job loss and always look

for resources to help our alums. I noticed you recruit MBAs like the

ones I coach. May I send you a connection request and keep in touch?

Patrice,

I am the Associate Director of Alumni Relations at San

Jose State and came across your profile. Congrats on

your recent promotion! I frequently put together panels

of successful alums and would love to connect so we

might connect for an event at some point. And of course

I am always eager to be a resource to our alums if there

is anything I can do for you. Thanks for considering my

request.

Hi Stephanie,It was great to see you at last month’s networking event. Thanks for coming! I am currently looking for a new event planner to handle our upcoming fundraiser in Atlanta and saw that you are connected to Rachel Lang of Elegant Events. She is our dream caterer and I’m wondering if you would be willing to make an introduction? Thanks for considering my request and hope to see you again soon.

Introduction to Rachel Lang?
