Hey,
I had a question.
I've started reaching out to alumni, and I've gotten pretty solid at it. At first, I was really awkward because I didn't really know how to have it flow 'naturally,' like a conversation among friends cause I was so nervous.
However, there's a group I'm really interested, and we have one alumnus in it.
It was an extremely painful, awkward conversation, but I'm pretty sure I can save it if I get another chance.
Should I set up another talk with him and explain I just didn't know what I was doing before and just have another call with him? Or should I just move on?
First, he has about twenty minutes so I don't think you should waste his valuable time with excuses. Second, what do you expect to gain from another conversation? Networking isn't necessarily about quantity but quality. Have some worthwhile to say and make it worth his time.
Don't admit you don't know what you did. Come off with more confidence. exude yourself in a positive manner and get that offer bro......don;t move on
How was it awkward? Can you give some details? Maybe it wasn't so bad but you just think it is.
I mean, I didn't like come off as a dick or a freak; just came off as a really one dimensional kid who couldn't talk about anything other than finance.
I guess the idea of just talking to a random kid whose only connection to me was the fact that we went to the same college freaked me out. So I just had a bunch of finance questions/career questions prepared for him.
Basically, I came off as really boring with no social skills.
Should I just hit him up again in a couple of months and act like I don't feel awkward at all?
every few months is good.. he probably wont remember the awkwardness by then. he's significant to you... you're not that significant to him.
