That's just personal/professional networking and you should consider working at it. I try to keep in touch with as many former co-workers as I can in case I find myself looking for something new or I can help out someone who is looking themselves.

That's my favorite opportunity: helping someone find a job when they need one.

Yeah I've done my fair share of networking as I mentioned. Just meant it's also a common complaint by introverted students.
