I invited a mentor for a coffee. She’s a senior executive, and I’m a recent graduate, so she earns a lot more than me. Who pays for this? Me or the executive?

Are we talking a Starbucks on Third Avenue or coffee at the Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side? Because one will set you back a few bucks, and the other will set you back a few paychecks. Regardless of your taste and financial capability, I think that given the circumstances — this is your invite, and you want something from the guest — you should pick up the tab. A simple way to avoid the awkwardness when the bill arrives is to arrive early and take care of the bill ahead of time.
My internship ended a week ago, and my boss said that I should keep in touch if I’m interested in being considered for a job when I graduate next year. What’s the proper protocol for staying in touch to demonstrate my continued interest? You ask a great and mature question, because too many interns just move on and don’t reach out again until closer to graduation. That’s a mistake, even if you don’t think that you’ll ever want to return to that company, because you still want them as a future reference, and you don’t want them to forget about you. Be creative by sending email updates monthly about how you’re doing — what’s going on with academics and extracurriculars, like a short, fun blog post that doesn’t require a response.
