Sending work samples

Hey guys.. I met with a head guy at a firm and there may be an opening there. He asked me in my meeting if I could send him a sample of any work I've done. To be honest, I really don't have much from college. I have tons from current job however, I'm not sure if I should send something from here for obvious reasons. Not sure if I should send something and just mention the confidentiality of it. It's honestly nothing that is even crazy private it's just the fact I work for a large corporation. Thoughts?

 

It probably would help to get you a first interview/superday. But after the superday it might seem pushy. I would try it anyway. My MD wrote me a letter of recommendation but I have not used it yet. I might do the same thing you are planning to do.

 

Will it be relevant to them? Not a terrible idea if it's something they're actively investing in, so long as you preface it with something like "I know your firm has an interest in X, here is a report I prepared on the state of the industry." Then give a high level executive summary in the email and suggest they check out the full report for more.

 

I personally know an individual who designed a website which acts like his resume/CV and has a page called projects with full copies/summaries and links to his best work. He's a MSF student who wanted to do academia but seems to be having some lean-way with interested parties.

@"copecre"Since I am cold-emailing, I cannot say if they are interested or not. Perhaps I can attach an initiation along with an executive summary? or I can just say briefly that I am researching a few companies on the side and am looking for advice. If they respond, then I can shoot them the report. I am just trying to get the max return rate.

@"UTDFinanceGuy" Thats gonna take some time and I really want to start networking soon.

 

What type of firms are you cold emailing? Based on that and the person's position, team, you can probably at least make a guess on whether or not they'd be interested. Send over the executive summary (3-5 bullet points) in the email, attach the report, and say you'd love to hop on the phone to discuss more in the next week or so. Then lock down a time and get on a call.
