Just as 以前(yǐqián) can be used to talk events before a specific time, 以后(yǐhòu) can be used to describe actions that happened after a specific time.
Structure
This grammar structure is similar to the English "after such-and-such, something happens". It's quite simple, all you have to do is put the "after" after the time words or time phrase.
Time/Time phrase + 以后， Subject + Verb + Object
The time can be a specific time or date, or an action or event.

- 十 月 八 号 以后，我 在 北京。After October 8th, I am in Beijing.
- 认识 那 个 女孩 以后，我们 一起 去 了 咖啡店。After knowing that girl, we went together to the coffee shop.
- 下班 以后，我们 一起 去 喝 酒 吧?After work, let's go together to have a drink?

- 工作 以后，她 认识 了 她 的 老公。After working, she met her husband.
- 这 件 事，我 三 天 以后 告诉 你。This thing, I will tell you after three days.
