Tips for Asking for Job Search Help
One of the best ways to reach out for jobs is through an email or letter. When you're sending a written request, try these strategies to make sure your note is effective:
Be specific. It's easier for people to help you if you tell them exactly what kind of job search help you want. Are you hoping for job leads.
Keep it short. Your letter should not be too long. Everyone's busy, and a brief note is more likely to be read than a longer one. You might even use bullet points or a list to make it easier to read.
Attach your resume. Consider attaching your resume to your letter or email to provide more information to your friends and family. This will also allow you to keep your letter shorter.
Send some personalized letters. If you have particular friends or family who you would like to ask a specific favor—perhaps they work at a company you want to work for, or they have a contact you would like to meet—send them individualized letters. This will increase your chances that those people will respond to you.

Be patient. It’s hard to be patient when you're job searching, but it’s important. Wait a couple of weeks or even a month before sending one short follow-up email. In this email, say you are continuing to job search, and would still appreciate the assistance. Avoid sounding frustrated or upset.

Be thankful. Individually thank every person who offers you help with your job search. Even if their advice was not particularly helpful, you would want to express your gratitude.
