- Why you want to connect with this person and what you want to talk about
- I know this doesn't count as warm outreach but I was looking at companies and RedBubble seemed like a great fit and I really wanted to email them about junior dev positions and if they would consider hiring out of a bootcamp. That's all I can really think about in regards to networking and such
- When you will contact them by and how you plan to meet
- I have their email and have been trying to write it in a way that doesn't sound like I'm hounding them or being rude. Just inquisitive. From there, I don't know about meet ups but if it gets to there, they would probably be remote meet ups considering they aren't based in Denver and I ride a bicycle
- What your follow-up will look like once you've met with them
- Probably just keeping the door open. Checking in every so often and asking more questions when they come up
- What other steps will you take to start building a stronger network in the tech community?
- More in person meet ups. Events and Demos and what not. Prolly need to talk to alumni and such.
Hey Aidan, if you remember from the session, it's not advised to ask about getting hired in an outreach email. Instead, make a connection with someone at RedBubble to ask about the company; within that, you could ask about their process for hiring juniors. You didn't mention a specific person from RedBubble, but I would recommend you reach out to someone who's a developer on the team so that you can learn about what their work is like day-to-day. This will also help you understand if you want to work there.
