How many months in advance should I email a company if I want to job shadow with them in the summer?
I'm an 11th grade student in B.C, and I want to get into job shadowing this summer. I have a list of companies/firms I'd like to job shadow for, but I'm not sure when to email them. I don't know if emailing really early (Jan or Feb) is ideal, or if they prefer it closer to the time I'd be joining them. What is the sweet spot for emailing?

Hello Sam,
Your inquiry is right up my alley!
When planning to job shadow with a company in the summer, it's recommended to reach out 3 to 4 months in advance. This gives the company enough time to consider your request, coordinate schedules, and accommodate any necessary preparations. For example, if you want to job shadow in June or July, you should aim to contact them by March or April.
It's also a good idea to be proactive
Keep up your good job with school!
