High school alumni
Emailed a director that went to my high school to network.
He didnt reply.
When should I email him again?

I tend to wait 2 weeks.
That's probably why he didn't respond. You should look for people that goto your college.
If you go to a boarding school in New England, most alumni are pretty responsive, some more so than college alumni.
Yeah I went to top boarding school in uk and we have a strong old boys network. old boys network tend to help each other out as much as possible and so so much more than uni (well university do not have old boys network), apparently considered like brothers lol. They organize lunches etc... Any way to be honest I am thinking the email format may have been wrong? He may have just been really busy, he is an executive director at a BB and I sent it on Monday
In America is college alumni more helpful than high school alumni?
Yeah from my experience college alumni have been more helpful.
That,s very interesting. Very much the opposite in uk. If you look at the parliament 17 of the cabinet ministers were the pm's best friend at school. The old boys network only exists at fee paying schools.
Wow that's really interesting!
Socio economic at uk is very interesting. Majority of people are pissed of though
out of interest is it right to attach your cv to a cold email? I heard somewhere that it would go straight to junk mail? or is this bull shit?
Do you know what, I think you may be right actually. What about Hong kong?
