Need help: Total beginner trying to cold DM recruiters for internships (What am I doing wrong?)
Hey everyone,
I’m completely new to the internship hunt and trying to learn how to do cold outreach properly on LinkedIn, but I feel pretty lost 😭 and haven't gotten any responses yet.
Right now, I’m just sending standard connection requests, but I know my approach probably needs a lot of work. I don't want to come across as annoying, spammy, or just asking "please hire me."
I'd really appreciate some advice on the following points:
- Who should I reach out?
- What should the message actually say?
- What message after the connection note?
- How to send follow-ups?
Guys, please share your experience with the cold emails and any useful advice.
