LinkedIn: Chances are, you are going to have multiple jobs in your lifetime. Recent studies suggest that young people today will have 16 jobs by the time they are 37. (Yes. That is bonkers.) You gave that job your time, your energy, your ideas. That wasn't just a current paycheck, hopefully it was also an investment for the future. All those former employers are valuable to you--as a reference, as source of deal flow, etc. How do you make the most of a past employer?

This article could be summarized to one word: connect. It's so important to connect with the people you meet, your colleagues, clients, boss, and then to maintain that connection. This article uses some great examples to highlight the importance of simply staying in touch. This is definitely something that doesn't come naturally to me because I'm usually afraid of coming off as pushy or a suck-up, and I'm making efforts to just go for it. We need to remember that business if first and foremost about people doing things with other people, and personable is an invaluable skill and habit.
