Avoid generic \u201cCan you help me?\u201d notes. Instead, briefly introduce yourself, mention any common connections or interests, and explain why you\u2019re reaching out.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<br \/>\n\u201cHi [Name], I noticed we both studied at [University] and share an interest in digital marketing.
