How should I reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn/Handshake? I know I should be reaching out and marketing myself, but I don’t want to be blindly messaging a bunch of people and I’m unsure on how to find recruiters and what exactly I should be saying to them when I reach out. If anyone has any advice that would be great! I plan on pursuing something in Data Analytics or Data Science if that makes any difference.

Find a company you’re interested in on LinkedIn. Go on the page and under people filter for people who went to your school or are in the team you’re interested in. Send a connection request with a note introducing yourself and why you want to connect. Personalize to each person. After a while you’ll get the hang of it with a template

Hi (recruiter's name)! My name is (your name), and I'm currently a (degree name) student at Stony Brook University. I'm really interested in (roles you're looking for right out of college), and I'm hoping to start in (anticipated start date). (Ask a question: Do you know when I should start applying for roles? OR say why you're looking to connect: Saw you recruit for the New York office, which is where I'm looking to stay, so hoping to follow for early career program content!)

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

In other words, I could potentially receive quarterly bonuses that add up to around $24,650.
