This was Jamie's personal result. The guide teaches the outreach system behind it, but no internship outcome is guaranteed.

The origin

The message that started it

LinkedIn message from Jamie to a contact in Hong Kong asking about internship opportunities in video production.

Inside the guide you get this exact message broken down line by line, plus the template to build yours.

Jamie on location in Hong Kong interviewing an executive with the video production crew he interned with.
On location in Hong Kong — the work that followed from that one message.

The story

I did not apply to 100 jobs. I messaged four people directly.

I arrived in Hong Kong with no local network, no warm introductions and no Asian-language skills.

Instead of sending generic applications through job portals, I built a short list of companies I actually wanted to work with, created a clear pitch around what I could offer, and contacted the right people directly.

Four messages later, I had an internship in Hong Kong.

This guide is the system I built from that experience, cleaned up, structured and turned into a four day process you can follow yourself.

Beyond Hong Kong

The method also worked beyond my own internship

The Asia result is Jamie's personal proof. These additional outcomes show that the same direct outreach principles can help students create internship opportunities in other contexts too.

Before this guide existed as a product, I coached two students through the exact same system. The guide is that process, turned into a self serve format.

Paid Ads Marketing Internship

Shukrit had motivation but needed a clearer pitch. We tightened his CV, LinkedIn and outreach. He landed a Paid Ads Marketing internship.

"Jamie brought structure to everything — from my CV to how I pitched myself. I wouldn't have approached it this strongly without him."

Social Media Team Internship at Vitamin Well

Elena wanted a social media internship but didn't know where to start. We sharpened her positioning, CV and outreach. She joined the Social Media Team at Vitamin Well.

"Everything was practical. I always knew exactly what to work on next. It made the whole process far less overwhelming."

Most students apply like everyone else. That is the problem.

01

Job portals are crowded

Most students apply through the same websites, with the same CV structure and the same generic motivation letter.

02

Companies do not know why you are different

If your message sounds like everyone else's, there is no reason for a busy manager to reply.

03

The right person may never see your application

The person who could actually create an internship opportunity is often not the person reading the application inbox.

The system

The four day system

  1. 01 / 04
    Day 1

    Pick your angle

    Clarify what kind of internship actually makes sense for you, what you can offer and which kind of company would care.

  2. 02 / 04
    Day 2

    Build your target list

    Find companies and people worth contacting directly, instead of applying randomly.

  3. 03 / 04
    Day 3

    Build your pitch

    Turn your experience, skills and story into a message that feels specific, useful and human.

  4. 04 / 04
    Day 4

    Send the right messages

    Use the outreach templates to contact the right people with a message that does not sound copied from ChatGPT.

The goal is not to send more applications. The goal is to send better messages to better people.
