Networking Advice

Currently a rising sophomore(SA 2025) at a non-target, have exhausted most of the alumni network so far. Any advice on cold-emailing whether it be formatting or content? Currently am tailoring a copy-paste email with the bank changed and industry/product group changed. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’m currently an intern so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but I was always told that personalized emails are the way to go.

If you tailor your email and change it for every person you want to interact with, you should get a higher response rate than with impersonal and vague emails
