I may have just missed a huge career opportunity, and I don't know if I can salvage it>be me>have job but it's shitty low pay and looking for a better one>on vacation in some tourist city>go to a bar >meet an older guy who's literally in exactly the field I'm trying to get into AND literally from my city >tells me all about what he does >talk about some other stupid bullshit that doesn't matter>he leaves before I can beg him for a job at his firmI think I fucked up badly. The one thing I do have is his name and WORK email, but I don't know if emailing his WORK email begging for a job will look "unprofessional" and get me blacklisted or something.Should I email his work email anyway, and if so, what should I say?
>>34898676>beggingThis isn't begging. It's called networking. Make the email professional."Hello X, this is Y. We met at a bar in Z city. We spent a great evening going over WORKTHING. I really liked your vision. I've been thinking about what you said since. I can't help but think that I'd rather work with you. I do hope you'll keep me in mind if you ever have an opening for a young MYPOSITION."Modify the adjectives as you see fit. Throw in as many business buzzwords as you think he'll expect.
first you didn't miss an opportunity because he didn't offer you a job lol. take a deep breath, you're in the exact same position as if you'd asked and he'd said no, which is a possibilitysecond emailing people about positions is normal and expected. you're an adult, you know how to be tactful,, respectful, and you even have the preexisting benefit of having had an actual in-person exchange with the manbe polite, reference who you are and anything that stood out, go get you a position
>>34898690>you didn't miss an opportunity because he didn't offer you a job lol. take a deep breath, you're in the exact same position as if you'd asked and he'd said no, which is a possibilityHe didn't offer because I didn't pivot and ask
>>34898808don't get lost in the rabbit hole anonyou haven't lost anything and you haven't fucked upget out of 'i fucked up' mode by whatever calming methods you normally use if any, take a breath, start drafting up your email
>>34898816I'm not hyperventilating or anything, I just feel like this could have been a good opportunity.What can I say in an email? We didn't really go in depth into work stuff, he just said what he does, talked about his company, and I said I'm interested in that field too
