When a friend leaves

Paty, my friend, get a job promotion and now she is working abroad. This week we had a farewell meal and share one of this moments with her. Networking in this occasions is important as well as the ones that stayed as for the ones that leave.

When you know a person that will work abroad you may have a lot of questions on how you will maintain contact or how you'll be keeping your friendship. Good news, social networks allow us to stay in touch and be aware of the people that we care about.

With all this changes for sure your friend will be busy, but you can stay in touch, giving likes to her facebook or instagram status, you may follow her Twitter comments or look out her pines at Pinterest. After the first month rush, her life will take order and you may give her some advice on where or what places she can visit. Give her time, don't get angry if at the beginning she doesn't keep in touch, probably is getting her life arranged.

If you are the one that makes changes, tell your friends about the stress you are having because the mayor change in your life. Ask them for a little patience if you aren't aware about their lives as you may do it before and take some time every day to speak with at least one or two friends, they probably be thankful about your time share and get some attention from your friends.

Make the most from this new experience, make it fun, if you are new on the place where you live, become a life watcher... learn by observation the culture, times, interaction, social rules and courtesy, and then share them to your social network, maybe it will be easier that you feel some sympathy and closeness, by learning how to make new friends.
