Requesting a Connection • Bad Example “I lost my job three months ago and am very concerned about paying my rent this month. I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t find a job soon. Could you please recommend me to the hiring manager for the HR Director job within your company?” • Good Example “I recently became a volunteer with the Mayor’s Youth Program and see that you volunteer with the same group through SHRM. If you have time, I would like to have a cup of coffee; I am just entering the job market again and would like to expand my network.”
