If you don’t ask, you don’t get. 🤷🏻♂️
Are you willing to risk that kind of awkwardness just for a chance to work for someone you like and potentially launch your career?
Maybe bring up something you guys worked on together to spark their memory. People always remember other people and it’s only been a few years not 15
Yes. Everyone loves to hear how great they are. No statute of limitations on that.
As long as you’re nice, you have nothing to lose
Update - he remembered me and is passing along my portfolio to his recruitment team! A happy ending. 🌈
Shoot your shot!!!!! What’s the worst that could happen? Go for it.
Reach out - you’d be surprised how many people remember their colleagues, especially if, as AD1 said, you can reference something you worked on together
Couldn’t hurt!
Yes.
I've had people do that to me. I didn't remember them but I was happy to know I made a difference. It made me feel good.
And I did it to a cd I had as an intern, 10 years later, who was freelancing with me. It made his day, too.
AD1's suggestion was solid. Just find a graceful way to reference something you worked on. He'll remember you.
As people get older, time becomes a blur. I’m pretty sure it was 2012 last year.
2014 isn’t really that long ago.
Awesome - good advice all around. Thanks everyone!
What's the worst that could happen! Try it
Not weird at all. In fact, it’s great. Reach out.
Yes. Simple.
YES. Go for it.
Try. She/he is just a person, same as you.
Do it!
Absolutely. Assuming if you liked him he’s not a dick, so even if he doesn’t remember you he will be cool.
