Job Search advice for Investment Banking, Research or Asset Management
Job seeking advice regarding emailing to Analyst, Associate, VP and MD at that particular firms.
Question #1) Can I send emails simultaneously to as many people within the firm or do I send to one person say analyst and then wait couple days before sending to other people within the firm. Also what is the best subject title when sending the email is "Career development advice" good?
Question #2) Can I send to as many people as quickly as possible other than HR to help me get an interview within the firm. If that means emailing 4-5 people at a time within the firm, so be it? Normally, I write a short quick message stating my intension and once that person responds, then only I forward my resume. Only time I have my cover letter along with my resume send is when I send directly to the Human Resources.
Question #3) I was told best way to get any analyst or associate jobs in either investment firm or research firm is to email to as many people within the firms and even call them and focus only in regional or small firms, especially if you do not come from top notch school or have solid finance experience or have any certification such as CFA the best way is network network network. I even use Bloomberg terminal to find as many people to connect with. So if I send 50 emails a days, at least somebody will respond.
If somebody could respond to the 3 inquiries I would really appreciate..
Thanks
Some of my friends who do not have any finance experience or have not come from a well know college, just send 100's of email using Bloomberg terminal and emailed to as many analyst, associates, VP and MD and finally found a job in small boutique M&A investment firms. One even came from a foreign college and he was a doctor or MD from Carri bean island. Even my Quant Analyst from Columbia used this approached, when he lost his job at Cidadel.
Emailed to Alumuni Emailed to as many people within the firms Called them Network like there is no tomorrow..
Example as of email as follows: Subject Title: Career Development Advice
"Kevin, I am impressed with your profile and I would like to be part of your group. I was wondering if you could assist me in finding me a position at your firm in which my expertise as analyst can be utilized. My background includes working at Bloomberg as a fixed income analyst, Exenet as a business consultant and finally at Scudder Investment as a FOREX Research analyst. If you require seeing my resume any time, please let me know and I will forward it to you ASAP."
Do you really think sending a well written introductory email to a lot of people within an office is such a bad idea???? Most won't even answer, and if you re lucky enough to receive an interview, I do not think that the people who did not answer your email will remember you. thanks
