Hey there!
ā
Iām excited to share with you a Holiday tip Iāve been using for the past 8 years to land potential referrals, job opportunities, and mentors from my dream company.
ā
And I know this will be valuable to you.
ā
But before we go into this strategy - I wanted to say thank you for all your feedback regarding my newsletter - itās now grown to 315,000+ of you in the past year, and Iām thankful to write these to help each of you land into your careers.
ā
My question to you is this: would you like these weekly or twice a week (one on Wednesdays, the other on Saturdayās)? Let me know your thoughts - this newsletter is here to help you turn from an underdog into a winner, and I read every email :)Ā
ā
Now, letās get into the strategy.
ā
Holidays are important to us - and itās also important for those on their job search.
Why? Because itās an easy way to connect with people who have helped you throughout your career or to catch up.
ā
Every year, I send a thank you email to those who have helped me throughout my career during the Thanksgiving season.
ā
(If you want this Reachouts template, download it for free here)
ā
This is an easy way to do the following:
ā
š”Rapport builder: By sending a thank you email, youāre showing gratitude to those who have helped you in the past or who are helping now with your job search
ā
š”Conversation starter: It helps you connect back with those who have helped you and engage in potential conversation, leading to a coffee chat or even referral
ā
š”Ask for help: By reconnecting, you can update your connections on your job search and āask for helpā; the ask for help can lead to potential referrals or job opportunities
ā
How do you structure your Reachouts? You can make them as simple as this (and you can use my template below!)
ā
ā
Send an email like this either on Thanksgiving or the day after, and see how many people respond. Youāll notice that itās an easy way to reconnect with those who have helped to build rapport, start a conversation and how you can ask for help.
ā
Let me know if you do this, would love to hear your results :)Ā
