When I networked for Junior SA roles, I found it easier because I wasnt expected to have much experience. Now when Im looking for FT roles, Im having trouble deciding how I should introduce myself in the initial email. I'm thinking this..
My name is [x]. This summer I worked as a SA in [x]. I'm interested in your job, can we arrange a time to speak, blah, blah...
Its short and quick to the point ( at least I think so)
any other recommendations?





lonestaffer: I'm interested
I'm interested in your job
well, you can't have it.
