^ That's very similar to what I write. I always try to appear professional when it comes to employer contacting. I also try to keep the follow up short and sweet so they don't just say "ah you werent hired and i'm not reading all that goodbye" and delete the email.
Btw, my top 3 job choices I'm gunning for right now:
1. Deloitte - Cyber Risk Services - Consultant
2. Stroz Friedberg - Cyber Associate
3. EY - Technology Advisory Program - Consultant (here I get placed into different engagements, not just cybersecurity. probably no cybersecurity for a year or more, depends on how I can network - EY recruiter told me i had a very impressive resume)
here's the description for #1, an
actual entry level position with no 3+ years of experience required oh thank god:Work You’ll Do
