Ankur Warikoo's 3 steps to land your dream job in 30 days – through a cold email!

Step 1: - Search on LinkedIn for the company + role you wish to apply for. - Find the names of employees working in the same/similar roles, who are senior enough to be responsible for hiring. Pro tip: Do not look for HR in these companies - they get a LOT of these emails which they cannot respond to. Step 2: - Send them an email, expressing interest to work with them. - The email NEEDS TO BE personalised. A good test is - can the email you’re drafting be sent to someone else?. If not, you’re on the right track. - Send the email. Pro tip: if you cannot figure out their email address - send it to a couple of email combinations such as: First name.last name (ankur.warikoo), Initials (aw), First initial.last name (awarikoo), First name.last initial (ankurw), First name (ankur), Last name (warikoo) Except the first one, keep all in BCC. Step 3: (Hardest step) - Send 3 cold emails to 3 different people, EVERY SINGLE DAY. These emails should be personalised. Which means, the email could NOT have been sent to anyone else except them. Here is why: - Cold emails have a response rate of 1-2%. - Through this personalised approach, you will increase it to 8-10% (5 times better). - But that still means sending 100 emails before you get 8-10 responses, of which 3-5 will convert to an interview, and 1-2 into an offer! I have hired the majority of my team through cold emails, got most of my podcast guests through cold emails, worked with terrific partners because they sent me cold emails. I can tell you one thing with conviction: it works, if you stay committed to it! If you liked this, follow Ankur Warikoo for more.
