Episode notes
Referrals in the job search process can be misleading, as not all referrals lead to interviews or job offers. There are two distinct categories of referrals: the 'one and done' referral and the 'advocate' referral. The 'one and done' referral is the most common and typically arises when an individual reaches out to someone with a request about a job opening, but lacks a deeper connection or relationship that could facilitate follow-up or endorsement. This type often results in limited engagement and is less likely to yield positive outcomes. In contrast, the 'advocate' referral emerges from a stronger, more established relationship. Advocates are individuals who not only support but also actively promote your candidacy, leveraging their influence within the company to enhance your chances of securing an interview. Understanding the differences between these referral types is crucial for job seekers to strategically target their networking efforts and improve their probability of landing a job offer.
