Appreciate this — I've been sending fairly generic messages and barely hearing back. Do you keep the "one honest reason I'm a fit" specific to the role, or more about the company overall?

Don’t be afraid to ask for a referral — here’s how I approach it
I used to feel awkward reaching out cold. What’s worked: a short, specific message — who I am, the exact role, and one honest reason I’m a fit — instead of a generic “know of any openings?”. Most people are more willing to help than it feels like from the outside. Happy to look over anyone’s outreach message if it’d help.
