Too VagueHoping to Connect
Hi Emily,
My name is Mary, a graduate student at NAME College. I was at the recent FindSpark event, but I had to leave since I started to feel under the weather. I wanted to connect with you if possible just for conversation and advice for myself. I hope to hear back from you.
Best, Mary
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
Too VagueHello Emily. How are you doing? I am an International student and just graduated from Georgia State University. I completed Msc in Marketing. I am basically from Pakistan. Is it possible for you to connect me to a good marketing agency?
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
Too VagueHi Emily, How are you?
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
Too VagueHappy New Year! How have you been? It's been a long while since we've talked. Just wanted to reach out because I feel like I need a bit of career advice - and I remembered how helpful you were. I know you're probably busy with everything at FindSpark, but if you have a free moment to chat I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
WHY?!
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
Great thank you notes, no ask
Hey Emily,
I wanted to thank you for the presentation you gave us sophomores at sva a few weeks ago about public speaking. It really opened my eyes as to how important it is to connect with people.
So, I recently set up LinkedIn account and thought I'd connect with you!
Thank you,
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
Great thank you notes, no ask
Hi Emily,
Hope you are having a great weekend!
Thankful reminder from me: I never would have landed my internship at MTV and then went on to do even more creative journalism jobs in Arizona if it were not for meeting you and the rest of your FindSpark team!
You're incredible! Please keep doing all of things that you're doing!
Sincerely,
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark

Hi Emily!
Hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out because I'm a huge admirer of your career trajectory and the incredible work you do at FindSpark.
Currently, I'm a TITE at COMPANY, where I oversee THIS THING, and this has sparked in me a passion for leadership development, overseeing brand ambassadorship and community empowerment.
I would love to pick your brain and hear about how you've reached this point so early in your career, and I'd also be happy to tell you about COMPANY and how I feel we align well with FindSpark's mission!
Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you,
Specific & Ahead of Time
From Application to Negotiation | @EmilyMiethner of @FindSpark | #FindSpark
Specific & Ahead of TimeI'm reaching out to inquire about any available job openings at FindSpark, contractor/freelancer or full-time. I'm looking for new opportunities and FindSpark piqued my interest!
I've been doing BD, growth marketing, and partnerships at COMPANY for a couple years, but I've also done editorial, content marketing, social media, and project management here, too. I'm definitely interested in helping companies grow through strategic partnerships and the content side of things, but not sure if FindSpark is hiring for that at this time. I'm pretty open though—I'm just looking for a new challenge, and would greatly appreciate it if you'd let me know if anything pops up that you think might be a good fit! Happy to send along my resume, if you think it’s appropriate.
Thank you in advance!
