Example 1

Hey Jamie -- I would love to connect as we are both from the Bay Area and have a bunch of mutual connections including my former colleague Jordan Stern. I am also 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

Example 2

Hey Brandon - I am a fellow [XXX school] alum and noticed that we both share a background in product management. I see that recently started at XXX as a PM. I am in the middle of the recruiting process at XXX for a similar role and was hoping to connect. If you are willing, it would be great to find time to grab a coffee to discuss your recruiting experience.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Jordan

Example 3

Hey Neil - It was great meeting you last night at XXX event.

Hopefully, we can stay in touch over the coming weeks, and if you are willing, I would love to reach out to you with additional questions about the recruiting process at XXX. Looking forward to talking again soon,
