reaching out

Hardest bit - research, invest time, resilient

send something physical if makes sense - personal impression
peer review email before sending
if senior - dear ....

email advice

  • Send from professional email address
  • Subject line is searchable - placement proposal etc 
  • Proffesional greeting - so either hi or dear - hope you're well etc ...
  • Keep it short - who, why writing, question, send attachments as pdf
  • strong closing statement - thank you so much for taking your time - looking forward to hearing back 
  • Confidence more important - sell yourself and how you can get the job done
  • Be confident, clear and succinct in your communication
  • Have a clear ask
  • Talk up your skills and 'fit'
  • Make your email easy to respond to - yes, no, no but
  • Placement - set dates 
  • List the skills and interest and drive you have
goal - face to face - hard to say no to and speeds up the process
Hyperlink - better than the full website = command K then type web in
