Is there a time window that you prefer to stay within and how do you usually initiate the conversation?
Answers
You should send that professional an email once a month just to see how things are going. If a person believes that you are concerned about them then they will be glad you asked and cared enough to ask. This is how you build relationships. When I go to networking meetings and I meet people I put their contact information in my email data based and send them an email within 24-48 hours of meeting them and I say it was nice meeting you hope to network with you more in the future. After that I send them an email once a month just to say hello and stay connected. I will also meet with them to see how I can be of service to them. It's all about building relationships.
Hope this helps.
I would suggest you set up a profile on LinkIn and then search for those professionals and request to join their network connections...mention when you worked with them, that you served and are returning and reconnecting to find opportunities..
LinkedIn and social events for your field in NYC. Social events happen nearly every week.
Create a Linked In profile. Join or establish a LinkedIn "alumni" group for firms and organizations at which you worked. Reach out to your former colleagues and connect with them on LinkedIn. Organize occasional "Happy Hour Reunions", lunches and/or informal dinners.
It depends on how and why you were connected. If your question is how often do you stay in touch with professional friends or networked acquaintances as a general rule I'd say at least once a quarter or twice a year.
