Alyssa Searan
Project & Portfolio I: Week 1
OCTOBER 29, 2023

2. I'm a free-spirited soul who's been on a quest for adventure from a young
age. Growing up in a small town, I developed a love for the simple joys of
life and a profound connection with nature. As I ventured out into the world,
my wanderlust took me to various corners of the globe, where I met people
from all walks of life and experienced the richness of diverse cultures.
My passion lies in storytelling, whether it's through written words,
photography, or the art of conversation. I find beauty in the small details and
believe everyone has a unique story worth sharing. My values center
around authenticity, kindness, and the belief that the world is better when
we connect on a human level.
My purpose is to inspire and connect with others through my stories, and
my goal is to keep exploring, learning, and keep embracing the magic of life.
I envision a future where I can continue to wander, capturing moments and
connecting with people to create a tapestry of stories that reflect the beauty
and diversity of our world.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Sai Mukkamala
Outreach Plan:
• To prepare for the initial contact with the recruiter, I will thoroughly research their
professional background and the companies they typically work with. This research will
help me understand their expertise and specialization in digital marketing. I'll look for
commonalities, such as the types of roles they typically recruit for and the industries they
focus on. This knowledge will allow me to craft a more personalized and relevant message,
demonstrating that I've taken the time to understand their background and the value they
can bring to my career aspirations.
• I'll use LinkedIn InMail for my initial contact with the recruiter. It's a professional and non-
intrusive way to reach out. In my message, I'll introduce myself, express my intentions (e.g.,
seeking advice or exploring opportunities), and LinkedIn's read receipts will provide
transparency on message views.
• To follow up with the recruiter, I will send a polite email after one to two weeks of the initial
contact, expressing my continued interest in connecting and offering any additional
information they may need.
