Thank you email after a career fair
Email Subject: Thanks for your presentation!
Hi Martin,
Thank you so much for taking the time to present at the Resume Worded Annual Event and for speaking with me for a few minutes afterward. It was great to have the opportunity to hear more about Resume Worded and its internship program.
I am very excited about this internship opportunity and am grateful for your advice on how to highlight my background in engineering on my application. Would it be okay if I sent over my resume for you to have a look?
Thanks,
Sam Perkins

Did you know that 75% of professionals make a decision about someone based on their LinkedIn profile?
Networking is a crucial part of building a successful career, but let's be honest - it's not always easy. Especially if your LinkedIn profile isn't working as hard as it could be.
Optimize My Profile
You see, your LinkedIn profile is often the first thing people see when you're trying to make new connections. And if it's not optimized, you could be missing out on valuable networking opportunities without even realizing it.

And the best part? It's completely free to try. So why not take a few minutes to see how you can start building a stronger, more valuable network on LinkedIn? Your future connections (and career opportunities) will thank you.

Hi Claire,
Thank you so much for taking the time to present at the Polyhire Career Fair and for speaking with me for a few minutes during dinner.
It was great to have the opportunity to hear more about Polyhire and the recent diversity and inclusion initiatives that are being run!
If it's OK with you, would it be possible if we could stay in touch over LinkedIn?
Thanks,
Anne Hawson

Hi Rohan,
I hope you're doing great. We met at the ABC Conference last month, where we talked about your career at Polyhire. I'm currently at Resume Worded working as a business analyst.
I've been figuring out my next career move, and product management seems like a great fit for my experience. Polyhire's a dream company for me, and if it's okay with you, I'd love to ask you a few questions about your experience there and if you also think PM is the right fit for me.
If it's okay with you, would it be okay to set up a call when you have a spare 15 minutes? Alternatively, I'd be more than happy to send 1-2 questions by email if that makes things better.
Best,
Laura

Reference the conversation you had with them and be upfront that you're looking for a job and are looking for help.
Give a low-friction easy way for the recipient to respond (i.e. offer to send just 1-2 questions by email) - this makes it effective to get responses.
