Just had a great networking call with someone at a company I’d like to work for… should I follow up asking to be connected to another person on the team? I hear it is a good networking strategy.

How would you ask someone you just spoke with to be introduced to someone else?

Also, any general tips for maintaining a good relationship with someone you just networked with?

Hmmm. What's the reason why you're asking to be connected to someone else? A little more context might help us provide better suggestions.

Of course! There is an entry level job open that I applied for, so I’m networking with people on the team to learn more about what they are looking for/ what it’s like at the company. So far I’ve only spoken to one person… should I ask to get introduced to another team member (for the same networking purposes)?

My annual perf discussion is monday morning. I work on a tough team for a tough place.

I try to tell myself he has 6 direct reports and has to do this with everyone, Im no more or no less special - but I hate these convos and negative feedback even when most of it is unsurprising/fair feedback. Any tips? Just need to get through it! HR people are not immune!
