Happy Birthday George

George happens to be my younger brother and today is his birthday. We've had many birthdays now and probably don't see them like we did as kids.We still send a card each year to celebrate the others birthday. Remembering loved ones is essential to our own being I think. We all like to be acknowledged or recognized and most of all by family.

What might this have to do with your opportunity search? You probably always send a thank you card to persons you have an interview with or an informational interview with. Mainly for their time and input. Yet it goes further than that. Acknowledgement and recognition comes into play.
Never forget that you also are contributing to the conversation just by listening and feeding back. You don't always have to share earth shattering information. Listening plays a large part in all this.

Acknowledge and recognize others.
