    Bryant & Stratton College Incorporates Rubin Educaton into Undergrad Course

    On November 23, I had the opportunity to bring my new book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, to the classroom for the first time.

    Thanks to Bryant & Stratton College and Director of Career Services Ronda Toll for inviting me to discuss email scenarios from the book. The school purchased the book for every student in the senior Capstone class.

    We talked about:

    – How to apply for a job even if the company has no openings at the time (p. 114)
    – How to ask for an informational interview as a recent grad (p. 143)
    – 4 questions everyone should ask in a job interview (p. 221)

    To see sample chapters and the entire table of contents, provide your email address over on the right-side column of the blog page. I will send everything to you for free.

    As I wrote the book, I envisioned it as a teaching tool in the classroom. So tonight was a cool moment — and hopefully there are more like it to come!

  • Official Book Launch Party in Virginia Beach a Success

    Official Book Launch Party in Virginia Beach a Success

    Thanks to everyone who came out on Thursday, November 5 for the official launch of my book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?. More info on the book here!

    I held the book launch in coordination with a happy hour hosted by tHRive, the young professional division of the Hampton Roads Chamber of Commerce. We wined and dined on the outdoor patio at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Clear skies and temps in the 70s in early November…I’ll take it!

    In the middle of the event, I spoke to the group and explained my approach for a smart follow-up email after a networking event. Relevant for a happy hour, right?

    The paperback version of the book is available now. Kindle version coming soon!

    Pardon the blurry face. Here, I discuss how to write a follow-up email to someone you met at a networking event.

    I hosted the book launch in conjunction with a young professional happy hour already taking place in town. Then Dan Hoffler (center), a well-known real estate developer in Hampton Roads (and a baby boomer), walked into the party and bought a copy of the book. Fine by me!

     

    Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

    Wait, How Do I Write This Email by Danny Rubin

    After 15 months of writing, editing and designing, my big book of templates for networking and the job search is finally ready — for preorder!

    Here’s the preorder page on Amazon.

    I will have information on the paperback version in October, but the Kindle option is ready to roll. Preorder today!

    OK, let me step back and explain what the heck is going on.

    My book, Wait, How Do I Write This Email?, is a collection of 100+ email and document templates for networking and the job search. My goal is to help the millennial generation compose smarter emails so they can start conversations, build relationships and propel their careers.

    Page after page, I offer detailed instructions for networking (ex: how to contact alumni from your school) and the job search (ex: how to apply even if the company has no openings at the time). I also includes smart LinkedIn templates, memorable handwritten notes, the outline for a powerful one-page resume and a fresh cover letter strategy with a focus on storytelling.

    Here’s the table of contents.

    I want the book to be your personal assistant as you launch a career or grow into one. So far the reviews are promising:

    Wait, How Do I Write This Email? is your new career glossary. You will find any template or quick idea to connect your career aspirations to a real person in a real, effective way. Don’t wait. Use it now!”
