Networking

[BoDEAN]

I had 2 college professors / deans from a few years ago I used to email about once a month.l've been lazy, and would like to get back in thel oop with them.

How would I go about doing this? I feel this may not remember me, but I am pretty sure they might. I am thinking of firnig a email off to both of them, but not sure what to really say. Just would like to keep them as friends/person with experience/a person I can network or use as a reference.

Don't worry about if they remember you. Network Network Network yourself as much as possible. It's the best way to get a job.
Good Luck

Have no shame or pride when networking for a job.

You will be surprised how many folks will try and help - even of you have lost touch for a while...

One suggestion? Dont BS them. they know you are not emailing to say "happy holidays"....also, unless they are many timezones away...pick up the phone and call - much better than email!!

Fired off 5 emails, basic happy holidays. Just don't know what to say besides cut the breeze with them. 450 hr guy isn't going to get much =P
