Cold-emailing if I don't Study in the US

I don't go to school in the US, but I really want to break into NY banking.

When cold emailing, what should the subject line be, considering that in 99% of the scenarios, we would have nothing in common.

Thanks

You could say "Interest in (bank name) (position) - Phone chat opportunity" or "(Bank name) (position) chat". Replace the chat with "inquiry" if you don't want to call. I've been using these titles and people have been generally receptive.

For the lead! Sipag, tiyaga, at lakas ng loob!
