Hey guys, quick question:
I've recently been meeting with people in the city for info. interviews etc. in hopes of networking about SA positions or anything. A few people that I met with have connected me to others, then there are the others (who I know I had a good connection with as they've reached out to mutual acquaintances and spoken highly of me) that have said "I'll help in any way I can." and the last e-mail is usually me saying "If you can put me in touch with anyone you think that would be good for me to speak to/meet up with that'd be great" and then that's usually it...
If its been a week or two, should I follow up, and say "Hey, have anyone else that you think I should speak with?". I don't want to appear too aggressive but at the same time I know these people will forget as they are busy.
Thanks
following up in a week or two sounds appropriate
What I do, is "re" or "fw" the old email i sent a week ago and say this...(keep it short)
I understand you're busy blah blah, you're important blah blah. I am willing to work around your schedule (if networking call/meet). Please let me know, I would really appreciate the help. add a sentence
If its for SA interviews, just copy first sentence, and then say "I think i'm one of the best candidates, and am in the recruiting process with other similar banks (Name drop if you are ACTUALLY in the process with good banks, max 2 names). Please let me know if a phone interview would be possible. attach resume
I ask directly, and the "re" email for SA interview I've had 70%+ response rate, with either rejection or they set me up. works wonders. do this with HR and VP & higher.
remember I'm at the same level as you haha, just sharing my experience
Respond a week after.
Thanks for the advice guys.
Anybody else with suggestions as the situation is pretty time-sensitive, it'd be highly appreciated.
