Sending Cold Emails

So you applied to that job or internship and haven’t heard back yet – what now? Well, did you know that you can send a cold email?

What are cold emails? They’re essentially an email you send to someone you don’t personally know to inquire about something like a job application.

While this may sound bizarre, it’s actually pretty common and can potentially help you land that job or internship you’ve been going after. Sending cold emails shows initiative, your interest in the role, and puts you on a recruiter’s radar. If you want a step-by-step guide on how to send one, take a look at this LinkedIn article!
