- Twitter is another great platform to stay informed and involved in the conversation even when your student contract is up.
- Use a catchy title for your email.
- Write the person's name (e.g.: Hello Julie).
- Try to build a connection with the person before asking them for anything (e.g.: I could see from your LinkedIn profile that you also went to school X.).
- Write your email after a meeting and mention it (ex: I attended X meeting today).
- Ask to schedule a meeting with the person to discuss
- Tip: Start a conversation and find things in common with the person, don't ask for a job right away.
- Tip: Learn about cold emailing techniques to communicate with someone for the first time. Improve your solicitation technique and learn from your communication mistakes.
