Sample DM after applyiing
Hi [Name] — I applied for the Staff Product Designer role. The posting reads like the platform team is designing faster than the system can absorb, I cna tell that you're going a growth stage something. (I paid attention to your company) This is somethign that I did for company X, or I built a feature that tackled the exact same problem you did (This is a tiny story that shows that I've solved this problem in the past) Curious if you would be up for a 20-minute chat, DM conversation, email?

A company ISN'T having a job posting, but is somewhere you'd like to work (Dream 100) Then you connect with people, caht about the company, things that are intersting, etc. Then you say, hey, is the design team looking to expand/etc? Then you introduce yourself. Let me do some trial work. I have this experience, but paper doens't matter. Let me show you that I can do this work. knock it out of the park an additional conversation.

Hey [Name] — saw [Company] just announced [specific thing]. That caught my attention, especially [one sentence on why it's relevant to your work or interest]. I've been exploring roles in [space/function] and [Company] is genuinely on my shortlist. Would you be open to a quick conversation? Even 15 minutes would help me understand if it's a fit. — [Your name]
