Homeless Indian grad sends 500+ emails to land dream job at Tesla, shares inspiring story......

Dhruv Loya, an Indian-origin engineer, recently shared an inspiring story on LinkedIn about his remarkable journey to landing a job at Tesla, the innovative company founded by Elon Musk. His experience sheds light on the challenges many face while searching for employment, particularly in a competitive job market.

After sending out more than 300 job applications and following up with over 500 cold emails, Loya faced the grueling process of ten interviews over five long months. Despite having three internships, a solid GPA, and engaging in various extracurricular activities, he found himself unexpectedly unemployed for five months. This experience was both daunting and disheartening for him.

In his heartfelt LinkedIn post, Loya reflected on the struggles he endured during this challenging period. He shared that he lost his lease and health insurance, and he constantly worried about his visa status, fearing he could be forced to leave the United States at any moment. To make ends meet, he moved between friends’ apartments, slept on air mattresses, and saved every dollar he could. His perseverance eventually paid off, as he proudly announced that he secured a full-time position as a Technical Support Specialist at Tesla.

Technical Support Specialist @Tesla

🎉 I finally got a job! 300+ applications, 500+ cold emails, 10 interviews, 1 offer Hello, everyone! I’m excited to share the end of a challenging journey and express my deepest gratitude to everyone who believed in me, supported me, and stood by my side. Despite having three internships, a good GPA, and active extracurriculars, I never imagined I would be in a position where I’d be unemployed for five months. I lost my lease, my health insurance, and constantly felt the ticking clock of my visa status, knowing I could be forced to leave the U.S. at any moment. For months, I moved between friends’ apartments, slept on air mattresses, and saved every dollar I could to get by. Today, I’m thrilled to share that it was all worth it—I’ve secured a full-time position as a Technical Support Specialist at Tesla! I know the job market is very tough, especially for international students. My advice to anyone facing this struggle is to treat applying to jobs as your 9-5, but make sure to use your evenings and weekends to unwind and do things you enjoy. I understand how emotionally draining this process can be. Here are a few resources that helped me land interviews: Hunter.io – for cold emailing LinkedIn, Indeed, Handshake, Jobright.ai – for job searches ChatGPT+ – to tailor resumes and cover letters Just keep manifesting, stay positive, and believe that things will fall into place!

What is "COLD emailing?" 

 

A cold email is an unsolicited email sent to someone with whom the sender has no prior relationship or connection. The purpose of a cold email is to introduce the sender or their business and potentially start a new business relationship. 

 

 

Cold emailing is a subset of email marketing and is similar to cold calling in sales. It's a way to reach out to potential customers and build relationships with them. 

 

 

Here are some tips for effective cold emailing:

• Write a compelling subject line: Make the prospect want to open the email. 
   
   

• Be concise: Attract attention in the first lines so the prospect reads the entire email. 
   
   

• Express gratitude: Make the recipient feel good if they choose to help. 
   
   

• Personalize: Use customized variables and personalized images. 
   
   
• Introduce yourself: Include your name, position, and the company you work for. 
   
   

Some say that cold emailing is a risky strategy that can have negative consequences for your brand. There are other tactics that are more likely to result in long-term growth.
