Sending out a mass email when asking for help is______. [br] [originaltext]

If you’re searching a job, you’ve probably heard that one of the most effective things you can do is to use your network of connections to find job leads and make connections with hiring managers. But how do you actually reach out to your network, and what do you say? Here is a key to doing it right.
    Contact people individually.(11)It might be tempting to send out a mass email, letting everyone know all at once that you’re looking for a job. And realistically, if mat’s the only way you’re going to get it done, then do that, because it’s better than not contacting people at all. But it will be far more effective if you send individual emails to people instead of one group emails—(12)because people are generally much more inclined to help when they feel like you’re reaching out to them directly.
    After all, think about how you feel in similar shoes:(13)If you get a mass email from a friend asking a group of people to, say, donate to a charity she’s supporting, you may or may not spend much time thinking about her request. But if that friend instead reaches out to you personally, you will probably feel more responsible for really thinking over the request and maybe acting on it. When people see that they’re one of many beings asked, there’s a diffusion of responsibility, a feeling that others will be taking care of this, so the urgency is lowered. So if you can, do individual emails—people will feel more invested.
