How have you built solid, lasting relationships at work, either with peers or with your managers? And how do you maintain those connections after you move on to other companies?

We’re all Facebook friends. The original core group of us haven’t worked together for 10 years but we still stay in touch, use each other for references, ask random questions. If you’re friends, you don’t have to “try” to maintain a connection. You just do.

You’ve gotta be ok with not being friends with everyone. But once you establish relationships, you can normally tell if they’re genuine. If they are, you’ll stay in touch with people who are like you and you want to stay in touch with.
General rule of thumb that’s worked for me is, do I get along with them on a level and can I be myself around them. If you can your authentic self will shine through and they’ll want to stay in touch with you.

I feel the same way. And the ones I want to stay connected with are also on part of my Facebook friends, or I'm connected with them in other social media platforms in addition to LinkedIn. Some will forget you within days of you or them leaving the organization, even if they've always seemed to be friendly, so do keep that in mind 🙂

Hello, is there anyone here who moved from a consulting firm to corporate retail? I’m interested in transitioning to a sustainability focused role in retail.

So many interviews, yet I can't seem to find a new home. Looking for something more exciting and involved, where I'm allowed to be more hands-on and where the work itself is challenging. My current company is very secure, but the work (or lack thereof) is uninspiring. Any recommendations?
