How to write a job enquiry email for your job search? How should the cover letter be? What should you do in your job search?
Recently I received an email from someone, who was searching for their job.
The email was as amazing as it could get. It required me to do a lot of research, go into the details of emails like never before, and most importantly, it did not even mention for which position the job was being searched!
This is the last way to write an email while applying for the job. Even if you match the desired criteria, you may never get the job because the person on the other side never got you!
So in this episode of wari-Q, we will learn how to write an email for a job, so that you end up having the right response - the one that could really help you, instead of taking you further away from opportunities.

Hi Ankur,
I subscribed to you fairly recently and was compelled to binge watch almost all of your content because of how useful the content is plus your added charm. On my low days i start with a motivational video of yours because it directly speaks to me and i recommend my friends to do the same because your videos almost always pump me up for the day.
I can't thank you enough for this video and the one about networking because as a second tier engineering college student, off campus placements are the only way for me to score a good job and these videos have given me a direction to go about it. I shall come back to this video and put up an update on how this helped me. Thanks again Ankur please continue with this good work.
With so many people telling me I can't it is so amazing to have someone like you tell me that i most definitely can.
All the best Lavisha :)
Reading this comment i believe you can, All The Best👍🏻
Trying to Seek the advise from experts like you willl be Beneficial always👍
i guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me.
Here's a summary of what I comprehended:
Send mail to HR manager and not HR itself because HR manager or someone in power are the ones needing the role to be filled and are getting less emails so more likely to see. They are in power too so likely to forward your mail to HR if it is good, shortlisting you among thousand others who sent to HR.
Create curiosity in subject line like "You are a great leader.." or "You won't believe what I said..." or “You have no idea how I got to know you”. Don’t say “Looking for a job” etc because that’s what everyone writes and why would they notice you. Your subject should stand out.
First para should be warm and form emotional connect. Compliment them, what you like about them, what quality of theirs inspired you. Keep it very short. The first line should state the purpose and objective.
Second para should be about roles are there and what skills you have and how would they fit together. What you have and what company needs. How your skills would be applied in the context of company.
Last line should be very direct request, eg "This is the role I would like to request to get into" or "There aren't any roles but I would love to know if there is anything for me"
End the email with a question because it compels them to answer it. Also, If answered, you know your cold email trick worked as they read the email.
Follow up after ONCE after 4 days. Be direct. Assume they read the email and you're giving them another opportunity to reply.
Other key points:
Empathy like "I know you don't have time so here is quick..."
Be Honest about your interests and previous stints.
Start with your interest. Showing you know them. Homework.
Avoid using heavy vocabulary and fancy language.
Your analogy of sharpening the axe instead of spending time cutting the tree was so simple yet it blew my mind. So did the puppy example. Your examples are always so simple to relate to yet so so clear in establishing the point. Thankyou so much!
I tried doing these and cold emails work, but this trick takes cold emailing to the next level
I read so much about cold mailing and email marketing and I found only this article and service usefull- sites.google.com/view/info-ruler/home
Today is the first day, I am going to start writing cold emails for applying for jobs. I am so going to follow this...
It works Mr. Warikoo!!
It worked for me. I was able to get an internship at my dream marketing company. Followed the right steps and got the subject line on point. Got back a response appreciating the E-mail and setting up an interview. I was able to clear the interview and now I am an intern!
Thankkyou for this!
There needs to be a college course on this!
Your Strategies Worked! Thanks
Hi Ankur,
Love the energy, positivity and genuine intent that your content radiates. I am awed by how your videos talk about issues that everyone relates to in a manner that feels like a conversation and not a lecture.
I feel genuinely grateful that towards the beginning of my career, I have these to look up to for guidance and inspiration.
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
7k views only. Really?
Been posted almost 2 months back.
This is pure Gold.
Not evryone is lucky enough to find gold,enjoy our good fortune!
It's been around a year since I have ignored this video and finally completed it. Thanks Ankur for this video and others content and keep boosting our deep inside.
I got a reply from my first ever cold email. THANK YOU!
Mind sharing what you actually typed in?
@@winstonmartin7149 Yeah ! I am trying to follow that funnel concept for writing mail; in the first paragraph, research about the company, a positive thing about that person & what found interesting about that company to you, then your short introduction and finally how the company will benefit having you. At last, I also added a nice signature in the mail containing my contact information.
Wariko sir the way you present or explain the topic is really impressive !
If you are looking for the best cold email video, this is the one. Thank you sir , the only video that really helped me out. Appreciate you !!
This is gold! I can't wait to share this to my network
Recently I have started listening ur video they r inspiring.
I have been following Ankur past few months, I am just inspired with the simplicity of explaining things.
Thank you.
Hi Ankur,
This is like going zero to hero , just with basics. Like literally how proper homework’s or right or call honest words work can actually get you anywhere 🔥
Thanks for sharing 🤩
Hi Ankur, I had worked in Nearbuy for a brief year back in 2015 and had the privilege to hear you in the townhalls and other events. Recently came across your videos and must mention that these are such important tips to sail through in various aspects of career or personal life. Extremely useful, thank you so much for doing this !
Awesome video @ankur you hit the bull's eye :).
* subject line of effective cold email
* research on the person,co and
appreciation
*Write to the hiring mgrs, the key
and the deciding person not just the HR
mgr.(sounds like blue ocean strategy) 🙂
plot twist, that first email was planted by someone to make him talk about this..
Haha
😂😂
Have seen you always stress on writing a good email. I understood this after I started working professionally. And this just understands me all the necessary things I should keep in mind while sending the next email to a professional.
The way you tech in depth about Email.. i wish i could learn in college n University .. never got learning lie this .... Superb inside ❣️❣️ will apply same strategy...
This channel is also the COLD Motivation in professionally .. Which is goes directly from the inner world ... Thats amezing .......
Dear Ankur, ur content is just superb.. it just compels me to take out a notebook and make pointers on each of ur videos. I go through those notes everyday and try to implement in my day to day life. U have changed my perspective towards everything. Thank you for that.
The best channel I have subscribed this year, I hope we have had more people like you.
Thank you for sharing who you are and your experiences.
Keep Shining and I'll keep learning.
Still wondering why Ankur gave so much value for free!
I can't begin to tell you Sir, how priceless this video is. You sharing examples of cold emails on both sides of the coin and actually guiding us about the Dos and Don'ts. I'm listening to this video right before applying for my dream work as an actor at Pocket Aces. I hope this would work. Thank you so much for your invaluable information.
hello, how did it go? :)
@@serene9532 we are in terms for a new project
@@nikitajain7408 good to know, all the best Nikita! hope it works out well
@@serene9532 thank you so much
As a person who quit a good job because it wasn't making me happy and now applying for roles that I feel would make me happy (experimenting), this video is pure gold. Each and every point. Exactly what I needed.
suggestions quite make sense. I haven't been writing cold Email very optimistically.. but now with this improved approach will give it a try. Thanks.
Ankur, you're the best public speaker in India
Jullay Ankur, (Hello in ladakhi)
Personally all your videos like you are directly speaking to me and mentoring me, I started following you since the session with the Naropa Fellowship at delhi this year.
I like the way you explain and it's easy to understand, hope to see more such videos from you in the future. Due to the development in technology and high speed internet connectivity even a person far away in mountains can gain such insights and knowledge.
Writing this form the mountains of Ladakh, hope to meet you someday and keep making videos like this.
Thukjay-chay (Thank you in ladakhi)😊
Happy Independence Day 😊
Thank you so much :))
Hi Warikoo Sir I ve attended your courses on Time Management and How to Start a Startup ... they are simply Wow 🤩 Pls make more courses on such topics as writing a cold email ,communication skills , networking skills, etc that can help youngsters truly “ Ninja Warriors” in their respective fields ... it will be a great service for the nation !
Hi Ankur,
I am thankful to you for this video am a 17 year old kid i always had doubts on how to right emails and especially the subject. Thanks for taking out time and helping us with such wonderful content will be always grateful to you everytime i use these tips and get the reciever's attention.
I loved the way physchological impact on readers is explained in this video
Hi Ankur,
I am surprised how after coming across one video of yours, I am binge watching all of them.
This one so far is my absolute favourite.
Thank you for doing so much work and sharing your knowledge.
You inspire me.
Hi warikoo sir
Wasn't fond of surfing RUclips but I guess I'll love it now onwards.
Your content is worth binge watch informative.
Hehe! This means there are only two ways to get Mr. Warikoo's attention. Either write a good email, or write an email so BAAD that he sees it and shows it in his video. HAHAHA!
PS: Love the content!
The way books are stacked gives me the urge to stack them uniformly.
Hahaha. OCD, is it?
U have OCD..
It's segregation 😂
Such an epic video. Very Helpful. Wish they teach that in medical circles too. (However, the camera was tilted by a few degrees. Guess i've discovered a new OCD in myself. LOL)
I recently discovered your RUclips channel. I'm so grateful for this :)
You are Inspiring me a lot,
so much that I have completed all your videos here and going to Implement these learning in my real life,
Your journey, thoughts, experiences and knowledge is quite precious.
I find people who are ready to share their knowledge and that's why I am here.
I have a habit of listening to people and learning from them as much as possible.
I have quite big goals and ambitions and this habit is helping me a lot,
I am going to do a startup and I wish your videos keep helping me.
Will write to you soon regarding my startup.
Sir your video content is amazing. The simplistic approach you use to explain the topic is the reason I follow your videos. I wish our school and college professors used such ways of teaching the topics, it would have been of great help back then.
Keep motivating sir. All the best 😇
feels so diffrent from your current videos , certainly language has a very deep effects, still a good video to gain knowledge
It's simply Amazing Ankur!! you have given us such a wonderful way to approach through emailing. Most of us are suffering now a days to find the right approach and seriously this works with freshers and experienced person both. Nowhere i have seen this kind of killer method to get the best possible results. Would love to see in future if we can get videos on interview questions and their best answers. Keep posting and always inspire us. Waiting for next video
The amount of value this Gentle Men is adding is insane keep Inspiring us Mr Ruffalo.
Though it is quite lengthy but it is like an encyclopedia on 'hot' emails. Gratitude on behalf of all🌹
Wonderful insight...Tons of thanks for sharing this million dollar worth information which is usually missed
I can't, I simply can't believe We are getting this, *for free at the comfort of our homes !!!*
Hi Ankur,
I recently started watching your videos and your video on cold calling is simply amazing. I never thought of this way, I have been doing it myself since a month reaching out to people and this video changed my whole perspective. Thanks a lot for helping me figure out what I am doing wrong.
Wow this is gold! I am so grateful to have Ankur Warikoo as a virtual mentor. Thanks a million!
Excellent Content. Thank you Ankur sir!
Such a helpful video Ankur. Good emails are indeed hard to come by, and it was a great insight to know what works best for you and other CXOs of big companies :)
Thank you

Amazing man👍, I for sure use this tips for my jobs.
And, why not you make your a course on "cold emails tips" eveyone one would need cold email tips.😁
Amazing leadership material you shared and very thoughtful. Hard to find such detailed information.
*I am A student and It is Unbelievable I am learning Life Lessons( Which i always wanted to learn ). from A Top Ceo.
Which is Impossible in the era before internet*.
Thanks Ankur sir*
With that being said, do check your email today!
The way you convey the message in every video is just amazing. No doubt why you have been successful.... Thanks for amazing content... :-)
sir,
You don't have any idea, You inspired a lot of individuals are lead them to a better future...(i am one of them)
So what I understood is the subject of an email is equivalent to clickbait video title on RUclips and then content matters🙆
yep can't deny that
you make things super easy dear....kudos to you
Wow man!
This was really good advice,
and new as well because all the time over the internet it's written the same old stuff copied and pasted everywhere!
This is awesome stuff! Glad i found your channel..
this is so amazing, gonna save this video for ever
Hi sir this video so wonderful that I watched almost all of your videos in one go.Thanks a lot taking such efforts and can't wait for more
Honestly, 2 weeks back I was thinking ughh another guy who is giving his gyaan. But this video changed my mind.
This is the most honest & useful info about finding a job that I have found on the internet this yea! Much better than the other self acclaimed career coaches and guides who want you to purchase stuff first. #ThanksAnkur
Hi Ankur,
Your videos are fantastic and you doing a wonderful job in putting these content together in one place. Today, when every institute is going online and students preparing for interviews & competitive exams. Every single one of them is seeking motivational and useful content over the web and I must say your videos would be adding values to their lives.
PS: I am still in the process of watching all of your videos.
Your videos are always so exciting, all your preparations for these videos are just motivating!
Truly fabulous Ankur. Thanks a lot ❤️
Thank you so much, Ankur. And I just found you on youtube, you are a brilliant man with knowledge. I don't subscribe easily but yes you forced me to do this with the great content :).
Hello Sir, The way you presented your first 2 1/2 minutes in this video is so fun and I can't stop laughing after seeing your expressions(No offense). I am very glad that you are making these very useful videos to the younger generation.
I keep coming back to this awesome video !
I have developed this weird habit, when I write an email or a reply I write it and then read it in Ankur’s voice 😂
It’s like he is always judging me, and I can say I’ve improved a lot !!
I swear I could hear him in my head.
Hahaha
Loved it..... amazing sir❤️
It's simply fabulous

I’m looking for a job as well
Hope this video helps
Thanks a lot
This is so amazing !
Hi Ankur,
Thanks for your Information, I started following you almost a year back, I may be the last one to comment, but this is what I was missing with my email strategy.
I understood that writing catchy subject is also important.
This is something which I'll be inclined to note and put in my emails next time I'll be writing.
Just for the recap, can you put this same video in Hindi, if possible.
Hi Ankur,
This why some people didn't watch your videos .❌❌
Your all the videos are amazing nd it always works for me. But they are very lengthy ,some of my friends quite by watching time only.
If you shorten them , it would be very beneficial. ✅
I wish not many ppl watch this video so that we can use these tricks😂
Great sir ..very helpful..
Please also give example of "end the email with a question"
Life-changing 👍 thanks a lot.
Make a video like about the notice period stuff..
How can i switch to a job who wants the candidate to join immediately but can't get out of the current one for 3 months
warikoo is like mentor to me
Thanks a lot, Ankur. I tried it works.
thanks sir ill try this..🙏🏻
Apologies for this horrendous email Ankur. I will write a better Email to you next time.
Great content sir, keep it up. Very useful
Try and be a tad more frequent, if possible. I'm beginning to get used to learning from your channel. 😎
One question. How do we find out email Ids of HR managers and other people?
Impressive stuff!
Loved the content and cant wait to try the same, however the point you mentioned about researching the JD is sometime difficult as sometimes they are just copy pasted from other JDs. Looking forward to receiving your thoughts on how to work around that.
it surely worked😁
