5 things you NEED TO do before cold emailing for research !!

Ever since I sent out a cold email, if you haven't done these five things, I sent twelve cold emails and got four positions at Harvard, Stanford, and while my friends with better GPAs got zero responses. So here's your five step roadmap to get professors who actually reply to you. Step one, check their publication frequency. Step one, check their publication frequency and read their papers. See if their work actually interests you and take notes for later steps. Step two, use a clickable subject line. Step two, use a clickable subject line. Wait till the end because I'll show you fifty other subject lines you can use. Step three, bullet your most impressive accomplishments. Step three, bullet your most impressive accomplishments. It could be your CV, research, or personal projects or school coursework. Step four, the most important one, never ask for a role directly. Instead, ask for a fifteen minute conversation. Step five, include specific date/times your available to meet. Put this all together in an email and put specific dates and times you're available. If you want the exact email template I used to learn four roles and the clickable hooks, follow + comment "roadmap" for a 5-page guide covering clickable subject lines and email templates to get you research positions. #research #coldemail #email #college #cs
