Professional Email Writing: Making First Impressions That Open Doors
Between now and landing your first job, you’ll send hundreds of emails to hiring managers, networking contacts, and potential references. The way you write them shapes whether or not people respond. This workshop addresses the gap between how you’ve been communicating digitally your whole life and what professionals actually expect when they open an email from you.
We’ll break down how to structure requests so busy people respond and how to use the right tone depending on who you’re writing to and what you need. You’ll see real examples of emails that work and emails that don’t, practice rewriting common scenarios (cold outreach, interview follow-ups, networking asks), and leave with a flexible template you can adapt to any situation. We’ll also cover follow-up strategy and the details that separate students who hear back from students who don’t. If you’re job searching, this is the foundation that determines whether your outreach leads to conversations or gets deleted.
