Hey honestly you just need a good resume and be early when the job is posted. Referrals from strangers will not help because they can’t really vouch for you. Just get a referral from someone you actually know, not a stranger.
@@idontevenknow9758 not even early. Just tap into the hidden job market. There’s more positions that aren’t even posted than the ones we see. They do that by design and yes it does exist. I would say get a referral for someone you know but someone you strike up a relationship with. But even if you just know somebody at the company, that gives you a leg up on the competition
Some recruiting teams will do a courtesy interview when they receive a referral but most don’t. Even if you are qualified for the role there are no guarantees that you’ll get the job. Competition these days is tough as there so many layoffs happening. Wishing everyone much continued success!!
@@daveisdead I saw the same thing happen back in 2008. I hired tenured guys that took a $30K-$40K salary reduction in order to stay employed. Wishing you much continued success!

Funny that she is standing in front of Google when she said this because my daughter got a job at Google due to a referral from a girl she was friends with in her college marching band. Still had to go through about 6 interviews. Her friend did get a $2,500 bonus when my daughter got hired.
Funny thing is, I just started this awesome job because I went to the company's website and applied. Their talent acquisition person reached out and got me the interviews and moved things along. 😊
I love you for sharing this with me. I have been dying at my current job because everyone there is very toxic and racist waiting to get out but in New York. It’s really hard to find a job if you just graduated.. you don’t know how much you have helped me by saying this. Thank you. You’re amazing.
I was referred by a candidate at JPM and she worked with an old colleague of mine. In essence, “a friend of a friend”. I’m sure they knew about the connection but that was how I was able to get an interview. They didn’t ask but I didn’t get an offer either.
@@yaya5tim the whole point of the site is giving a referral isnt against any rules, lying to deceive your boss during a hiring decision would get both of you fired
Lol, I referred people as an intern in grad school, one got hired, got paid nearly 2 weeks salary for it (which is saying something when my internship was 10 weeks to begin with)
i was gonna say that if your a bad hire the referer could be negatively impacted, but in this job market youd just go somewhere new and have former job friends be references
I've done this. It makes a big difference. When I was an part-time English professor I always offered to give references to students who did well in my class. They got the job.
The only way I could see the picture is by looking in a mirror in a different direction to the light of a light in a different room in a dark space and then I would be like wow that’s amazing that you’re going through this is so amazing and so beautiful and so wonderful I can’t wait for the next day
I worry if I make a referral that whoever I speak up for will be a disaster. However, I have made referrals often in the past...it's just with people that I've known for some time.
This is exactly why when I interview anyone, Referrals are at the very bottom on my list. I always assume referrals are friends and now paid for. They mean absolutely nothing to me, unless they are negative.
I see a lot of issues potentially for the "referring" person. If they say they refer you, and you're a horrible employee, that person could be setting themselves up for trouble ⚠️
you might be 13 now, but your not going to be forever! one day your going to need to work cuzz thats how our world is setup, and learn about investing, cuzz any money you can invest now is a good thing!
I work as HR for different state in the US and Canada. This part only matter sometime however you need to understand the job portal the HR are look at. second the candidates are better preferred from the one company site. the best way to get a job is apply on the companies site, send and email to the official career email tell I applied for the job mention the job number and location. I have not heard back. now you become a priority. .
i work for the public sector and we aren’t allowed to refer people as it can be a conflict of interest, but we also never get any new people because no one knows about us :(((

Even if that person is working there, how do you know if that person is performing their responsibilities effectively? Why would you want a referral from someone who isn't performing to high standards? As well intentioned this advice is, I'm not sure if I can get behind it. I've never had an issue obtaining employment without a job referral.
The company I work for makes it ten times easier to get an interview, and most likely hired, if they know someone who already works there. They just need the person's name, job title, and location.
I agree that a referral helps a lot and is beneficial for both parties, but I would never refer a stranger. Find someone you know that works there or get to know people there (i.e., networking). Referral bonuses can be significant, and everyone likes easy money, but I'm not recommending someone I don't know.
I referred someone to my company and they refused to take 5 minutes of their time to fill out a paper that notified them that I referred this person. Yes they got the job and I didn't receive the bonus. 🙄
Is it true that if you refer someone and that person is hired but does a poor job in their role that it looks bad on you, the person who referred the new bad employee? Honest question.
Nobody knows if someone is a bad employee though. You can't tell. Just because they were good at one place doesn't mean they're good in a totally different environment.
I've never had to use references. And I've always got the job I wanted. If you know what you're doing, there's no reason for an employer to question your knowledge.
Open positions in the current job market receive hundreds of applicants. Hiring managers have no idea who knows what they’re doing, and they take about 7 seconds to decide if a resume looks outstanding in some way. While referrals aren’t the only way to stand out to a hiring manager, they’re the most effective, statistically.
@@XrayTheMyth23 Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I am a male and when talking to male potential employers, I'm not sure that looks fully qualify you for much unless they swing that way. I have been told only a couple times that I am over qualified. However, just because I am over qualified, doesn't mean I don't deserve the job I am actively seeking.
Actually, some companies might ask the referrer for specific qualifications about the referee. And if the referee doesn’t hit the benchmarks the company wants, the referral might be a hindrance and lead to auto-rejection over being of much help. I kind of had to learn this the hard way.
I wouldnt say it's a secret, it's pretty well known, that said it's certainly worth reinforcing to, yes get a referrel if you can, otherwise applying is a bit pointless.
Theres more jobs in the hidden job market than there is posted jobs. Internal candidates and referrals get dibs on these jobs and less competition. Applying online is like a blackhole. Doesn't take into account people who want to transition into a new role or industry entirely.
I would never, ever, ever, FUCKING EVER allow my name to be attached to a referral without knowing that person. ESPECIALLY if I actually liked my job.
Also, if I was absolutely sure that person would do an excellent job and not make me look bad for referring them. I've seen happen too many times.
😂 facts
thats why u are still living in a cave ?
Eh, I only work in fast food, but usually they don't link you to the person you referred (probably because fast food is just more casual)

Any advice on negotiating salary after a job offer?
