Don’t Sacrifice Brevity in Your LinkedIn Requests to People
You should never sacrifice BREVITY when sending LinkedIn requests─1st time or ongoing─ cos people will first scroll to see how much of their time your ‘massive text’ will cost them to read! I do this myself.
So, always aim to meet the brevity criterion. e.g., the 280 Twitter stuff is a pointer to the beauty and requirement of brevity! My E-Group provided me with a template that seemed to have worked for me and it has less wording for different requests.
What to write in your connection request when you:
◆Wish to Build Rapport
◆Want to be Introduced to Another Person of your Interest
◆Want to Request an Informational Interview─
? With a Cold Contact
? With a Known Contact
◆WANT TO FOLLOW-UP-─
? After an Informational Interview
? After an Industry Interview
? With a Recruiter
? After a Rejection
? During Negotiations
P.S. Happy to share these templates, so get in touch: [email protected]
Also important, as an employability strategist, I love to say that from my recent UK experience working with students at different levels and backgrounds, getting a good job takes more than a well-written CV.
Therefore, I explored also what you (as a student or an unemployed) can do or should do, in a holistic way, to land prestigious and high-pay jobs you deserve. Check these articles out ─ PART 1 & PART 2 & PART 3
