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?
