Yes when did you do all that. Prior to 2023 the job market was booming

Brilliant, I never not respond to a young grad on LinkedIn simply asking me to point them in the right direction. And then when you’re provided a name, simply send an email, “so and so was kind enough to point me in your direction” great technique to get your foot in the door!

This is exactly how my friend’s son got his job. Same situation, he looked for his school alumni at companies he was applying to that had open positions, it took him about 5 months and he had to move to a city he wasn’t really wanting to move to, but he is very much now gainfully employed.

that’s great! i’ve been trying to try a different technique cause just applying to jobs within a couple hours of them posting wasn’t even doing much and ik i have the skills needed. i will be trying to do this now. question: did you apply to job and then reach out to them to connect?

HR Passion To Go :
Exactly. A resume can earn consideration, but a relevant conversation can create context that the application never shows. My HR advice: don’t ask strangers to “refer me.” Ask one precise question about the team’s priorities, then explain in two sentences how your experience connects. If the exchange is useful, the relationship can develop naturally—and you learn whether the role is truly worth pursuing.

That’s how we thought our son to do it and that’s exactly what he did! He hit great feed back and got a good number of interviews that way. We trained him literally to do this

After you spoke with him on the call, I’m sure you sent a follow up message. But when did you ask them for a referral, was it right after you submitted your applications.

I am curious, how long has this process take you? From where you started to the day you got the job?

Copy paste :
As a recruiter, I agree with everything you said. Job searches refuse to do this - and it boggles my mind.
