New message 1
I’m currently working on developing a career in journalism. I’ve been working on student journalism projects but I’d like to better understand the steps I could take to help me secure opportunities after I graduate. I saw on your profile on Alumni Career Connect that you have worked for two different newspapers since graduating and had similar experiences to me as a student. I was wondering if you could spare thirty minutes to have a chat over Skype as I’d like to hear more about your experiences and ask you a few questions about how some of the options I’m considering so I can understand the pros and cons better.
New message 2
I’ve just graduated from a degree at Cambridge where I did a marketing internship and was the social media officer for the boat club for two years. I’m particularly interested in working in an agency where I can work on a variety of marketing projects. Looking at your recent case studies on the website, I was particularly interested in the diversity of your clients and the creative approaches to marketing strategy you have taken. I’m currently looking for work and I wondered whether you might have any job opportunities at the moment? I have included my CV and a link to my portfolio and would love to speak to you further about how I could work with you, I’d be open to working on some short-term projects in the first instance.
