Freshersgram Career Power-Up – July 11, 2025
So, you’ve set up your LinkedIn profile, added your
education, written a great bio, and maybe even added a nice profile photo.
But now what?
You want a job. Or maybe an internship.
And you keep hearing people say:
“Just message the HR on LinkedIn.”
“Send a DM to recruiters – it works!”
But how? What do you say?
Will they even reply?
Is it okay to message them?
The answer is YES – if you do it the right way.
And today, we’ll teach you exactly how.
✅ Step 1: Understand Why This Works
Messaging an HR, recruiter, or manager directly can
get your profile noticed faster than just applying through portals.
Because:
- HRs get
hundreds of applications every day.
- But
only a few people take the effort to connect professionally.
- A
well-written LinkedIn message shows confidence and interest.
It’s like knocking on the door politely instead of
waiting in a long queue.
✅ Step 2: Find the Right Person to Contact
Not every HR will be helpful — and that’s okay.
Start by targeting:
- HR
Managers / Talent Acquisition Professionals
- People
working in the team you want to join
- Startup
founders or hiring managers (for smaller companies)
- Alumni
from your college in good companies
🎯 Pro Tip:
Go to the LinkedIn page of a company → Click on "People" →
Search with keywords like “HR”, “Recruiter”, “Hiring”, “Internship”,
etc.
✅ Step 3: Send a Connection Request First
Before you message, always connect first.
Click “Connect” and add a note.
🔹 Sample Connection Note (Internship):
Hi [Name], I’m a 3rd-year B.Tech student interested in
[your field]. I admire your company’s work and would love to connect and learn
about internship opportunities.
🔹 Sample Connection Note (Fresher Job):
Hello [Name], I’m a recent graduate looking for
opportunities in [field]. I found your profile inspiring and would love to
connect with you.
Keep it short and polite — like knocking on the door
before entering.
✅ Step 4: Message After They Accept
Once they accept your request (most people do!), you can
send a full message.
Here are a few sample formats 👇
📩 Message Template for Internship:
Hi [Name],
I hope you’re doing well. I’m [Your Name], currently
pursuing [Your Degree] from [College]. I’m actively looking for internship
opportunities in [Field/Role], and I admire the work your company is doing in
this space.
I’ve recently completed [a relevant course or project]
and I’m eager to apply my skills in a real-world setting. I’d be grateful if
you could guide me about any available roles or forward my resume if possible.
Thank you so much for your time and support.
📩 Message Template for Fresher Job:
Hello [Name],
I’m [Your Name], a 2025 graduate with a passion for
[Skill/Field]. I came across your profile while researching [Company Name], and
I’m very impressed by your journey.
I’m looking for entry-level roles and would love to
explore any openings or recommendations from you. I’ve attached my resume below
for reference.
Thanks in advance for your support and time!
📩 Message Template for Follow-Up (if they don’t respond):
Hi [Name], just following up on my earlier message. I
understand you must be very busy, but I’d really appreciate any suggestions or
direction on internship/job opportunities at [Company]. Thank you again!
✅ Bonus Tips to Make It Work:
🔹 Customize
every message. Don’t copy-paste the same thing to 20 people.
🔹 Keep it
polite and professional. Never demand a job — instead, ask for guidance or
help.
🔹 Don’t
stress about no replies. Many won’t respond — but even 1 response can
change your life.
🔹 Keep
your resume ready. Upload it to Google Drive and share the link (make sure
permissions are “anyone with the link can view”).
📌 Example:

🔄 Success Is About Consistency
Don’t message one person and stop.
Build a habit — message 3–5 new professionals daily.
And in just a few weeks, your network, confidence, and
opportunities will grow.
✨ Quick Recap:
✅ Find the
right HR/recruiter
✅ Send a
connection request first
✅ Send a
personalized, polite message
✅ Follow up
if needed
✅ Be patient
and consistent
