Contacting Me

or how to cold message me.

I write this for people who:

• Want to reach out to me

• Send me a LinkedIn request without a note

I don't mind connecting, but I'd like to know:

• who I'm connecting with

• that my connections are of a higher quality

My recommendations for reaching out to me:

• Please be kind, courteous.

• Introduce yourself. Tell me who you are and a bit of background about you.

• Tell me how you found me.

• Tell me directly what you want. Be it help, advice, internship, etc. Please do not beat around the bush.

• You don't need to be formal.

• If you email me, do share your phone number, or preferred way of texting you so that we can keep conversations casual. (WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram)

I apologize if this appears curt, or intimidating but it helps both of us.
