What is your advice on how to structure 1:1s with your manager if you're not actually working with them directly on any projects???

Not sure if you have regular meetings set up based on your question. So, first, decide on a cadence that works for both of you. Monthly or bi-monthly. The agenda should be whatever you benefit from the most, it’s your time. An account update of work your on, with anything you want them to know about your progress or skills you’ve learned. When you have a moment to let a manager know things you’re doing, take advantage. Then, if you have any questions or blockers for things that are getting in your way, you can ask for their advice on how to navigate them. Lastly, if you are working towards a promotion or new role, talk about what you want to achieve next, things you’re doing to navigate that (training/shadowing someone in the role/ etc) and make sure it’s aligned with that they expect for you to be moving in the right direction.

So, past (what has happened) good or struggle, present (what is happening) and future (what you’d like to have happen)

Each meeting might be weighted differently in those areas depending on what is going on.

I received an offer from a company I met at a career fair. The salary was less than my other two offers but the location was where I wanted to be. Tried to negotiate, & they said they couldn’t negotiate higher. So I declined. I reached back out to the recruiter I met at the career fair and she said “ I thought an offer was made to you?” Told her I was interested in exploring other options. No response. Sent a follow up email w/no response. Is she ignoring me on purpose? I really like the company
