I realize that. My point still stands. Whether you made connections or not during college, you shouldn't be asking for or giving referrals to people you knew in school 10 years ago but don't know very much about.
- CydeWeys 8y agoYeah, and I'm not.
- learc83 8y agoBut you're using that example as a straw man to attack the article's concept. >Why should a referral from some random acquaintance count so highly, anyway? I'd much sooner trust an interview loop than "Oh, I went to school with them a decade ago; beyond that I couldn't tell you much of anything about them." That's an intentionally weak example. You shouldn't trust that referral, and no one would argue that you should.
