Wrapping Up the Conversation
While there are a number of ways to close a conversation with an employer, there is one thing you will want to always remember — Be sure to get contact information. Business cards are still a great way to do this, but you can also ask for LinkedIn information or ask if it is ok to reach out via LinkedIn. Sharing your own business card can be an easy way to prompt an exchange. If you reach out through LinkedIn, make use of the initial connection message.
Note: Career and Professional Development is not able to give out employer contact information.
