Hey there πŸ‘‹
​
Thanks for using Lavender as part of your job search! πŸ’œ

I wanted to share a framework for writing a cold email (job search style).


Framework:

- Start with the role you want.
​
- Explain your understanding of what they're hoping to accomplish/solve by hiring for that position
​
- Note some of your core experiences/skills that speak to your ability to fill the needs of the role (don't resume dump)
​
- Ask if they'd be open to having a deeper conversation about the role, ask a question about the state of the company, ask something... start a dialogue

Example:

Hi {name},


​I saw that Lavender is hiring for an SDR role. Given the brand you've built, I imagine you're looking to expand your reach beyond LinkedIn.
​
I'm a decent writer. I'm not scared of a phone and hungry to learn. I'd love to be closing deals for y'all before Summer.
​
Would you be open to sharing more about your expectations for the role on a call?


Haven't heard back? Don't forget to follow up:

Hey {name}, I am interested in your open SDR role.
​
Is this something you're still hiring for?



This is a great way to personalize but also keep your emails short.
