Interested in this too -- I've sent about 20 e-mails, have had some warm responses but no interviews yet. Good luck out there mate.

yea man I did this last year and nothing came up for about 3,4 months. I ended up rocking the only interview I got from one of the first firms I emailed. All it takes is one.

If you knew the 400th person would give you an offer, would you take the first 399 rejections?

Good luck.

I emailed 35 boutiques, got 3 interviews, and 2 others didnt have positions but offered informational interviews. Mostly emphasized being somewhat of a local and school I go to in the opening email.

When you cold e-mailed, did you email the HR contact provided on their website, or did you hunt someone down through a network / LinkedIn and email them?

Also, did you submit your application/resume on their site first and then email them?

Last year (junior year), I called literally every single firm in the city and a neighboring city (40 min drive). Got a few responses but no initial interviews. Followed up 3-4 weeks later, got 1 interview. Got 1 internship offer

I've been focusing on alums, I got about a 50% response rate just in general, but nothing yet on interviews...

Thanks for the feedback, it helps me keep focused.

cold emailing vs cold calling? which one's more effective?
