Networking email headlines
Dear monkeys,
I'm ready to send a networking email to a former boss, but completely blanking out on what headline would be appropriate. Please throw some suggestions at me.
Background: I'm asking him to meet me for lunch/coffee, when he was my boss he gave me a very good recommendation, and it's been a few years since we kept in touch.
In another situation, I recently interviewed at a company that got acquired (and had to pull the position without filling it), but I really like the boss there and would like to ask him to become my mentor. Never had to do that before, how would I go about it without coming across creepy/awkward/kiss-ass?
Never directly ask anyone to be your mentor. Suggest it implicitly instead.
How about "Hello firstname" or "Happy Holidays"?
How would you suggest it implicitly? Thus far I was thinking that I would like to ask him to coffee/lunch first, but since I interviewed with them not too long ago and still looking, that may come across unethical/manipulative, and I would rather not ruin a potentially long-term relationship by starting on a wrong foot.
I'm worried "Hello firstname" may go straight to spam.
"Happy Holidays" also seems like it would be easy to ignore, lots of vendors and generic cold-calls would start out like that. I would like to play up past relationship without overplaying it. I don't know if that makes sense?
toching base?
