How to Land Your First Internship | Cold Email Guide and Template

Are you struggling to land your first internship? Or maybe you are a first or second year student keen on getting ahead? Getting that first big break is always the hardest part especially when every single role seems to demand prior corporate experience.

I am currently in my fourth year of university and I have completed five different internships. Cold emailing is the exact strategy I used to land my first two roles. It completely changed my career trajectory and it is the main reason I am where I am today.

I wrote this guide because I was once in your exact shoes. I landed my first accounting role at seventeen and an actuarial internship in my first year of university with zero prior experience and absolutely no industry connections. Inside this 20 page ebook I will teach you the exact repeatable system I use to bypass crowded online applications and uncover hidden roles. 

It contains everything I have learned including the exact email I used to land my own internship - so you know it actually works. Inside the guide you will find:

• Why this works and who this ebook is for

• What to offer when you have absolutely nothing on your CV

• Finding the right people to email so your message actually gets read

• How to write a cold email that gets read

• My proven cold email template

• Following up without feeling awkward

• Turning a reply into an internship

• Common mistakes that kill your chances

Your first internship is always the hardest one to get, but one single reply is all it takes to start your career.

Please Note: This guide is designed for students struggling to secure their first role and early year students wanting a head start. Cold emailing rarely works for massive corporations with rigid hiring pipelines. Instead this ebook teaches you how to target boutique firms and smaller practices. Managers in these environments actually have the flexibility to create a role for you on the spot. This gives you the foundational experience you need to secure those larger roles in the future!
