Reaching out to hiring managers, industry pros, or potential mentors can feel intimidating, but trust us—it’s one of the best ways to grow your network and land that dream internship. Here’s how to make LinkedIn work for you: 1?? Polish Your Profile: Use a professional photo and write a strong headline. 2?? Connect Intentionally: Reach out to people in your dream companies. 3?? Engage Smartly: Like, comment, and share relevant posts. 4?? DM Etiquette: Keep messages short and genuine. (e.g., "Hi [Name], I admire your work at [Company] and would love to learn more about your role!"). ? Now, let’s talk about how to send a DM that gets a response: ?? Personalize it: reference their work, company, or something specific from their profile. ?? Be clear: let them know why you’re reaching out (advice, job info, mentorship). ?? Keep it short: no one’s got time for paragraphs. Get to the point! Pro Tip: Don’t overthink it! A simple, polite message can open doors you didn’t even know existed. Shoot your shot! You never know where a DM might lead. Have you ever cold-DMed someone for an opportunity? Share your experience below! ?? CareerTips #ConseilsCarrière #???????_?????? #ConsejosDeCarrera
