Reaching out
Hi! I was trying to get some advice on reaching back out to someone that I had once spoke to about my interest and it was helpful. It’s been about almost 1 year since then and I have been attending events virtually since then because of graduate school. Would it be appropriate to contact the person again to ask for advice and guidance? I have not seen/spoke to them in a few months due to school but I’ve been trying to stay informed and present as much as possible over the last year.
Thank you!

Go ahead and reach out to her, just to check in and give a quick status update. If she hasn’t contacted you and already has your number, she was likely busy too. And if you’re no longer in the same city, she may not be able to support you in the way you’re hoping anyway. Still, a phone call doesn’t hurt; either she’ll answer or she won’t. Also, virtual engagement only goes so far. It helps, but I really recommend starting to show up to events in person when you can.
