I interned at a company over the winter, and am currently working a temp job but hoping to get a full time job back at that company. I recently contacted my old supervisor as an intern to make sure she was cool with her being my reference (she was) and to ask about some of their open positions. In her reply she mentioned that she was being promoted. In my response I thanked for her help, congratulated her, and then asked if she was getting a new office/ still supervising interns in her new job, really just to fill up space at the end of the email and sound interested. We got along very well and are the same age, but as soon as I sent it, I got this strange feeling like it was a weird thing to ask.
What's your guys' thoughts?
it doesn't seem weird to me. it's just making conversation. if anything, it shows that you're interested in what's going on with her and aren't just hitting her up when she's useful to you.
Not strange at all. Doing that is one of the better ways to network. Keep in touch with the person so that you have a door open to a potential job back with that company in the future.
