The most asked question after my recent blogs was to share my message template, that helped me get Interview Calls from Facebook(Meta), ShareChat, Koo App….

Here you go…

Do’s

• Always try attaching resume in form of a drive link (it isn’t possible for everyone to download your files on LinkedIn).
• Be specific with your qualifications and achievements.
• Send 1 message covering all details.
• Send to multiple people 😉

Dont’s

• Don’t send a separate Hi/Hello message without specifying what help you need. Remember the difference between LinkedIn and WhatsApp. People would hardly respond back. Instead, write what you exactly need from the other party.
• Don’t spam people multiple times. Try at most twice with an interval of at least 2 weeks. Then, approach a different person😆
• Don’t ping me on LinkedIn to verify your message 🙈. This is the most I know and I have shared it here.
• Don’t forget to attach your resume.

All the best 👍🏻 !!
