Frequently asked questions
How do I get a job referral without connections?
Find current employees in roles close to yours through LinkedIn, your college alumni or former colleagues, and send each a short, specific request. A real shared detail, like the same college or past employer, is enough to start.
Who should I ask for a referral?
Someone in the same team or function as the role, or a recruiter at the company. People who share your college or a past employer are the most likely to reply.
What should a referral request message include?
Who you are, the exact role with a link or job ID, two lines on why you fit, and one clear ask. Attach or link your resume so the referrer can submit it straight away.
Do employee referrals actually help?
Yes. A referral puts your resume in front of someone the hiring team already trusts, instead of leaving it in the applicant queue.
Is it okay to ask a stranger for a referral?
Yes, if you are polite, specific and brief. Make it easy to say yes, and accept a no or no reply without following up more than once.
