Networking before SA

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some insights on cold emailing and networking:

• Timing: It's never too early to start networking. Even if you have very little knowledge of the business, starting early can help you build meaningful relationships and show your interest and dedication.

• Approach: When networking, aim to build genuine relationships. Talk about topics beyond work and avoid making it seem like you're only trying to get something out of the relationship. People can often tell if you're genuinely interested or just looking for a job.

• Cold Emailing: If you're employed or have an upcoming position, it's still beneficial to network. Some users have found success through networking events and building relationships over time rather than just cold emailing. However, cold emailing can still be effective if done correctly. Use email tracking software to follow up with a call if they open your email.

• Consistency: Networking is about consistency and building rapport over time. Even if you don't hint at wanting a job immediately, maintaining a relationship can lead to opportunities down the line.
