Follow Up Question
Before anyone asks I did a search through WSO and couldn't find anything which would answer my question.
But anyway, I cold emailed a no-name IBD boutique in my area about a week and a half ago, 2 days later I got an email from the MD I emailed (since hes an alum of my UG) with the generic request to speak with him. He replied and told me that he would forward my information to their analyst in charge of their internship program and that he would reach out to me, and I saw he CCd him in the email. I replied and thanked him, and said I would lookout for his email.
Now, it's been a little over a week since that and I haven't heard from the analyst so I was planning on following up with him directly. He may just be busy, but I can't help but think that I would've heard something by now with his boss CCing him in on our conversation.
Problem is I don't really know how to formulate a follow up to this situation that doesn't have me asking about an internship.
They don't have my resume or cover letter, or know anything about me other than what I stated in my first email which was that I'm a finance student at non-target university.
Could anyone give some advice?
I would reply directly to that email and keep the analyst on there but not the MD. I would personally say this:
Hello Analyst,
Just following up to last week - md suggested I speak with you about your firm's internship program. Would you happen to be free for a few moments later this week or next week?
Best,
Me
Perfect, but also add your resume - gives more content for them to chew on and more reason to send the follow-up email since they did not have it before.
I like this move as well. Good advice Vanilla and Orange
I liked all the advice given, but what I did was just send the above email without including my resume. My reasoning for that was that these people literally know zero about me, and it seems that we made the jump from "can I have a moment of your time on the phone?" to "I want an internship, here's my resume". Came off as over aggressive to me, keeping in mind recruiting seasons almost over.
