Follow up and stay connected

Following up after an event helps you build lasting connections and stay informed about future opportunities. Here’s how to keep the momentum going:

Send a thank-you email: Reach out to any key connections you made on the day to thank them for their time and include any follow-up questions about opportunities you discussed. See our email introduction guide (PDF, 209KB) for tips.
Make a quick call: If appropriate, call to learn more about their organisation and how you might fit. Prepare talking points in advance.
Connect on LinkedIn: Send a personalised message when adding new connections. LinkedIn is a great way to keep the conversation going and learn about their organisation.
Apply for opportunities: Submit tailored applications for roles you’re interested in. For feedback, reach out to the Careers Service.
