This email landed me 3 jobs

🔵 In the past 2 years, I've gotten:

• 3 internships in the banking industry

• 1 internship at a pension investment fund

• 1 full-time role as a product owner

But none of these came from a stellar resume - they came from simple emails.

We all know the traditional way of applying for a job. You fill in your contact info, attach your resume, and click submit.

But that’s too time-consuming. When I started applying, I sent 107 applications over 4 months and only got 1 interview!

Cold emails though? They just work better.

Within the first month of cold-emailing recruiters, I landed an internship.

In this article, I’ll explain how I used 1 email to go from zero experience to 3 back-to-back internships.

I struggled with emails

First, don’t assume cold-emailing will suddenly land you that dream job.

It certainly wasn’t for me. I was pretty bad at cold emails at the start. Here’s what I used to write:

I sent 20 variations of this email to 20 companies, and 0 replied to me.

Clearly, I was doing something wrong.

My lightbulb moment

Lucky for me, I happened to be reading the legendary book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie at the time

And on a certain page, one quote stood out to me:

This was the missing piece of the puzzle.

It’s a universal truth, people love to talk about themselves. It was then, that I realized the mistake I had been making.

I was making myself the focus of my emails when in reality, I needed to shine that spotlight onto the recruiters.

Cracking the email code

With this new approach in mind. I went back to the drawing board and wrote a new cold email:

As you can see, I provided just the bare minimum about myself, then made the rest of the email about the recruiter.

And to my surprise, the recruiter responded to me in 2 days!

That email led to me getting an interview, and then the offer. The entire process took less than a month, and ever since, I’ve focused all my energy on emails whenever I was searching for opportunities.
