“It's not what you know, it's who you know". 
重要的不是你懂什么,而是你认识谁。
相信这句话很多人也听说过。但Networking具体要怎样做呢?与其说networking是一种科学,不如说是一种艺术,其中主要部分就是要找准自己的风格。你是坚定自信、善于电话交流的人吗?那么最好的做法就是cold call校友,简要介绍自己,请他们花几分钟谈谈自己的背景和事业。或者,如果你不善于电话交流,但与人面谈却没有问题。这种情况下,尽量去参加social gathering,向尽量多的人介绍自己。刚开始networking的话,cold email 可谓是比较容易掌握上手的。今天小编就为大家分享写cold email的一些秘诀,以及5个模版供大家参考。
写Cold Email的专业指导和例子

Subject Line: 在说明来意那部分一定要够简洁(要记住的是:很多专业人士都是从iPhone 或者Blackberry 阅读你的邮件的)。在这一部分里面,你一定要陈述一下你是怎么知道他的,还有里面之间有什么样的connections,会引起他的兴趣。
Intro: 通常以“Dear Mr/Mrs “开头。如果他们回信是使用他们的first name, 你可以考虑直接使用first name。但是,传统以last name称呼的方式是肯定不会错的。这称呼之后,你应该用一到两行的文字来陈述你的来意。
背景以及你们之间的联系:选择一些目标人物是跟你相类似的经历,但不一定只是校友。如果你是要去UCLA,你就应该同时联系其他加州大学毕业的前辈。如果你是毕业于non-target school, 你可以给那些同样毕业于非目标学校的学长学姐,询问一下他们是如何在华尔街成功的(提示:一间大学如何被定义为目标大学取决于他是否有大量华尔街投行到学校对前台岗位进行校园招聘)。这不是绝对的规则,但是给一些跟你有关系的人写邮件,较容易建立一种personal bond,会增加你成功的机会。
内容部分:正如上文所说,一定要保持简洁。解释一下你是谁还有你发信的目的。询问一下他是否有时间可以找个时间见面交流一下。用段小的文字来介绍你自己,更加详细的内容可以留到后面。
感谢:一定要预先表示感谢,然后告诉他们你希望能够收到他们的回信。以下是一些具体例子。
如果你给他们写邮件,但是在几天后都没有收到回信,有可能是因为他们公事繁忙,你还是可以给他们写follow-up邮件的。如果他们第二份邮件同样没有回复,他们就很可能不想被打搅或者对你没有兴趣。然而,如果你想更加表示你的诚恳,你可以试着给他们在一个星期后给他们打一个电话。我们都会在指导里面提供教程。你要有被拒绝的心理准备,但是不要应为这样就觉得沮丧,为下一次求职做好准备。

以上这些邮件都是点到即止,而且方便手机上阅读。最好在你的邮件标题上,直接附带跟你的联系人的关系的信息。你的对象很可能每天收到逾百封邮件,所以很有可能会忽略一封只是以“I am interested in Finance"为标题的邮件。如果你能够在标题写上跟你的学校,城市,居住地方,共同朋友等关联信息,会大大增加你的对象打开你的邮件的机会。
其他建议:
  • 正如我们上文提到,应该使用专业的邮箱地址。事实你建立一个gmail专门找工作是很有帮助的。想一下使用[email protected]而不是[email protected]的不同。这样就不会让人很容易就忽视你邮件。你也不需要删除你的邮件,也可以很容易找到他们。这个邮箱可以让你对你的邮件进行标记(根据公司,行业,职位等级还有其他类别)这是对你很重要的,这样可以让你的资料保存得有条理。另外,你也可以用来管理你的联系方式,他们的名字,员工,电话邮件,记录一下你想知道的细节,你也可以建立自己的日历来管理你的求职过程,这样你在Blackberry或者iPhone,Outlook或者其他什么地方都可以使用
  • 永远校对你的邮件,无能它是多短的邮件。确保你的语言简洁,没有太多的废话,也不要用网络用语
  • 要忘记在邮件里面放入你所提及的附件。用Gmail的话,如果你邮件里面提到有附件,Gmail可以设置附件提醒功能
  • 一定要记住把你的全名,联系方式留在邮件的最后
  • 不要提供你的简历,如果一切都好,别人在信息访谈最后才会要你简历
