Hi Jordan,
I read about the projects you did for Marine biology Research group, and
I’m impressed with your work. I am looking to apply the same approach,

Thanks,
Caroline

or another way to apply for a job

• Knowledge about industry, company, position
• Career advice
• Building relationship
• Introductions and mutual interests are a plus
• Do your research and show it
• State what you want
• Indicate how much of their time you are looking for
• Don’t ask for a job
Hi Blake,
I’ve been following your work with Genentech for the past year, and I’m
impressed with all you’ve accomplished. I’d love to hear more about your
work and transition from academic research – if you have some time, I’d
be interested in speaking to you about how you got to your current
position.
Thanks,
Marcy

Hi Kate,
I hope everything’s going well in London!
I’m writing to ask if you’d be willing to write a LinkedIn recommendation
for me that highlights my data analysis and programming skills. Ideally,
I’d love for you to outline the experience you had with me through the
massive behavioral study we conducted during your PhD thesis at OIST.
I’m trying to transition into a data scientist career, and most of the
companies are looking for strong data analysis, R+ and Python
background.
Thank you,
Joe
Hi Sean,
I hope all is well with you. I was recently asked about my postdoc at OIST
and I immediately thought about our former unit.
I really enjoyed working with you on the solar panel grant, and I was
wondering if you would write a brief, 3-5 sentence, LinkedIn
recommendation about my team management and leadership skills. It
would be fantastic if you could mention the team diversity and our
collaboration with labs from Harvard, Max Plank and SNU.
I greatly appreciate your time, and hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you,
Marry

Ideally, I’d love for you to outline the experience you had with me through the massive behavioral study we conducted during your PhD thesis at OIST. I’m trying to transition into a data scientist career, and most of the companies are looking for strong data analysis, R+ and Python background. Thank you, Joe

I really enjoyed working with you on the solar panel grant, and I was wondering if you would write a brief, 3-5 sentence, LinkedIn recommendation about my team management and leadership skills. It would be fantastic if you could mention the team diversity and our collaboration with labs from Harvard, Max Plank and SNU. I greatly appreciate your time, and hope to hear from you soon. Thank you, Marry
