Perhaps someone has referred you to a contact that could be helpful in your job search.
How do you reach out them? What do you say?
• Keep it short.
• Make it personalized. (How did you find them, why did you choose them?)
• Be clear about the next step. (Will you call or email? When?)
• Always include your contact information.
• Always follow up.
Just because you do not hear back from them does not mean that they do not want to talk with
you! The follow up can make all the difference and shows them that you are responsible and
will do what you say you will do.
Reaching out because of LinkedIn or alumni connection
(Insert their name) I came across your profile on LinkedIn and noticed we have a few things in
common, including our time at UGA and a shared interest in Habitat for Humanity. I am
interested to hear about your experience at ABC Company as I am currently investigating
opportunities in the same industry. Are you available to connect by phone this week or schedule
a time to talk? I would appreciate your insight and look forward to connecting
Sincerely,

Dear (Insert their name),
My name is (Insert your name), and I am a fellow Terry MBA graduate (’04) who found your
information in the UGA alumni directory. May I have 20 minutes to ask you about your
experience with IBM? I am trying to learn more about marketing careers at technology
companies in North Carolina, and your insights would be very helpful.
If we are unable to connect by email, I’ll contact you next week by phone to schedule a
convenient time to talk.
Thank you for your time,
