Networking Emails During the Thanksgiving Week

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it’s generally advisable to avoid sending networking emails during Thanksgiving week. This is because many professionals are either on vacation, spending time with family, or simply not in a work-focused mindset. Your email is more likely to get overlooked or ignored during this period.

Instead, consider sending your emails either the week before or the week after Thanksgiving. Timing is crucial in networking, and reaching out when professionals are less preoccupied increases your chances of getting a response. For example, Monday mornings or Fridays (when consultants are wrapping up their week) are often recommended as optimal times to send emails.
