Subject: Call: Jamie & Alex

Hey Jamie -

My name is Alex. I am very interested in applying for Mento’s BD & Operations position listed on your website.

As someone who is passionate about career support, I am very excited about companies that advocate for employees and help them advance their careers. I have spent the last 2 years at Disney Parks & Resorts, focused on helping our people operations develop their hiring and retention practices as we expanded our parks globally. I would be very interested in learning more about Mento, especially in regards to the methodology you have applied to job searching.

Please let me know if you have the time for a quick call!

Best,

Alex Marcus

Subject: Time to talk food tech?

Hello John!

My name is Jordan , and I just started my first year at UCLA Anderson. We are just getting into the heat of our first fall quarter, and I was excited to see your background in plant-based food technology during my recruiting research.

Like you, I have spent time in my career working with XXX and am set on pursuing a career in food technology after graduating from Anderson. Additionally, I have been following the news on "insert their company here" recent capital raise and your panel discussion at the XYZ conference (congrats!). I would be very interested to learn more about the company and your experience working in Business/Corp Development at Motif.

If you have any time over the next week or two, I would love to talk for 15-20 minutes about your experience at XXX and your perspective on recruiting in the food/ag technology space.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Jordan

Subject: Seeking advice on entering the Hospitality industry

Hi Chris,

My name is Tom Brady and I am a [insert a short description of yourself]. Alex Marcus mentioned that you would be a great person for me to contact with as I am interested in pursuing a career in hospitality. Prior to working at XXX, I worked for American Airlines for three years in a sales strategy capacity. I joined during the merger with U.S. Airways so it was a great opportunity for me to learn the business, work through a merger integration, and develop new sales strategies for dealing with corporate and travel agency customers.

I’m interested in shifting to the hotel sector and XXX is obviously one of the premier global firms. I’d love to chat with you sometime in the next few weeks about your path to XXX and thoughts on the hotel industry. I would be happy to chat on the phone or in person whenever is most convenient for you.

Thanks in advance,

Tom
