He viewed my profile on LinkedIn. Now what?

Hi everyone,

I cold emailed someone on LinkedIn a few days ago. The kind of career he has is very similar to what I want to do 10-15 years from now. He had put his work email id on his linkedin profile, so I sent him an email asking for an informational interview.

This morning I can see that he has viewed my profile, but he never replied to my email. I would really like to talk to this guy. Should I message him again and say something along the lines of "hey I saw that you viewed my profile, i'd be very interested in talking to you.." etc. etc.

How should I approach this? Should I just not do anything and assume that he simply did not want to reply? Or should I try my luck and email him again? If so, what should I say?

thanks for that OP. I have a similar experience I'd like to share.

So I was staying in NYC during my internship days and my neighbor had a cat. Every night this cat would scream. No one was getting any sleep.

One day, the cat wandered into our yard and I realized this invaluable opportunity right away.

I went down to the drug store and bought some superglue. I squeezed out all the content into a cup and dipped the end of my roomate's toothbrush in. With toothbrush in hand, I then approached the cat. The cat suspected nothing.

I then SUDDENLY pressed it on the floor and shoved the toothbrush into its asshole. It was meowing loudly but once the deed was done, we got a cat running around the neighborhood with a toothbrush stuck in its ass (with superglue never the less).

I think you should email this story to that guy on linkedin. I guarantee a response. Might even be his cat.
