how to send a cold reach out (solo show)
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- check your current network first before cold messaging strangers since most jobs come through people you know
- always submit your resume to the job before dming the hiring manager so you can reference it
- keep cold dms short and specific, state who you are, your fit, and the clear ask
- research the person's profile for shared schools, interests, or posts to make a genuine connection before messaging
- follow up multiple times since people are busy and rarely respond on the first try
