The best personal CRM for students and recent graduates
A semester abroad, an internship cohort, a graduating class - all scattered within a year of meeting them. Here's what actually helps, and why it matters more right after you leave than while you're still there.
The problem is timing, not effort
You're closest to a cohort in the exact months before you all scatter to different cities, companies, and time zones. Every group chat that was everything for one semester goes quiet within a year of everyone leaving, not because anyone stopped caring, but because nothing was tracking who you hadn't spoken to since.
Contacts apps and spreadsheets don't hold up
Your phone's contacts app stores a name and a number, not when you last actually spoke, or that this person introduced you to your first internship. A spreadsheet works for a week and then nobody opens it again. Neither one tells you who's gone quiet.
What to look for
- Free or close to it - you're not paying $30/month as a student
- Import your existing contacts in one go, no manual re-entry
- Works from your phone, since that's where most of this happens
- Shows you who you haven't spoken to in a while, without you having to remember to check
