Yes, and my advice would be to time your networking emails accordingly.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

Send them a box of chocolates with your resume and make sure you put a nice bow on it. Dress up as Santa and go on wall street. You'll be the first wall santa and start a tradition. Don't forget to ask for their business cards so you can deliver their presents.

I admit I was considering this for thanksgiving, but didn't do it. Trying to network on a day when they are probably trying to get their work done quickly to get home would not have been a good idea.

 

Or show up with Cuban cigars on their birthday after calling them 59 days in a row

 

lol that's hilarious. You emailed MD's on Thanksgiving? Nice.

Try reaching out to them next on Christmas. I heard all banking MD's gather at the office on Christmas and practice their relationship management and modeling skills together. You should have little trouble breaking in with the cold email on Christmas strategy.

Most likey they were plugged in remotely in the morning, the day after. Markets were open, so they were working. But I would say that it is likely that they were only reviewing and responding to high priority internal stuff.
