Writing Cold Emails is an art, especially when you are aiming to get Internships. And, this video tells exactly how to write cold emails. Must watch for College Students.

Getting Internships is quite a hurdle when the whole world is running for it. Therefore, to make it one has to break out from the crowd.

And, cold email is one of those ways.

Cold Emailing is where you email someone who doesn’t know you. And, you know him/her somehow.

Through, this email you intend to introduce yourself, communicate why you are writing, and at last convince the reader to do the necessary things.

But how you do it?

Draft an email that’s backed by good research of the prospect, the person to whom you are going to send the email.

The purpose of the email should be absolutely clear in your mind and in the first few lines of your email.

Then leverage your strong research. Mention that you visited their website, social profiles, etc. And, saw what excellent work they have been doing collectively.

Moreover, acknowledge and congratulate the reader n case he/she was in the headlines for something good.

And, lastly, talk about yourself.

Why do you want to do an Internship?

What is your interest with them?

Why you should be given a chance?

Etc.

You need to be honest with your answers. Don’t portray the fake perfect image of yours. Instead, tell about your flaws openly.

Your ultimate aim with this cold email should be to get a response. Even if it’s a ‘NO’.

‘NO’ means that you succeed in order to email someone who doesn’t know you, still persuaded him/her to read and hence, reply.

That’s a win, my friend. Now, you know that you gotta move to the next person or company.

So, don’t be skeptical about anything. Ever.

Just keep in mind that with cold email, you create a win-win situation for yourself and the reader of the email.

That’s all for this blog.

Thanks for reading!!
