Now, job and internship searches have to be done completely online and it can be hard to know what to say, especially when the person you\u2019re messaging is probably receiving many similar messages. Although this may be the case now, it is important to note that email templates are and always will be a GREAT way to reach out to professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this in mind, we thought we would share with you some message templates to help you throughout your job search. These can be used in an email or when connecting with others via LinkedIn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before the Job Search<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Let your network know you\u2019re looking for opportunities<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have been struggling with finding a job position post-graduation or are going through a job switch and have been struggling to find an opportunity, you can always let your network know that you are looking for new opportunities. When you do so, make sure that you have made these points and edit your message for every new person you are reaching out to. You definitely don&#8217;t want to send out the same message to multiple people.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Introduce yourself<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let them know what change you have recently made<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ask them to keep you in mind<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summarize your background<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank them for their help<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sign off<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Example:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hi [insert name],<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope you are doing well!
