Career Opportunity Email Template

Hi {{FirstName}},

I know a little bit about your background and had some ideas in mind. However, I work differently, and if you are open to chatting I’d like to begin with a dialogue instead of a pitch selling you a job. We might have a great position to tell you about, but that conversation can't begin until we listen to you first and make sure we are on the same page.

I realize that my email may or may not have arrived at the right time. However, my goal is to connect with and understand an outstanding individual's professional frustrations/aspirations, and then align those needs with the startup that can best fit or help achieve that person's goals.

What’s the best way for us to connect?

Best regards,
{{Your_Name}}
