Good things come to those who wait but great things come to those who go after what they want and this holds good when you are looking for career opportunities as well.
If you find a job posting that you might be a fit for, the rational thing to do is enquire and learn more about it and there are fewer ways better than directly asking the HR or the hiring manager about the role.
And in this blog post, we will look at how to draft an email inquiring about a job role, through tips, best practices and a sample email you can just copy, paste and modify. So let us get started.
