My experience exactly, it was only after actually calling a company about a job that everything clicked.
Sending an application using a recruitment website is like buying a lottery ticket with the same poor chance of winning.
And the easiest way to get a job offer is to know someone within the company that can recommend you.
- wayoutthere 5y agoYeah I’ve never seen an employee recommendation not lead to at least an interview. This is one of the biggest lasting benefits of my MBA — if I’m ever out of a job, I can just find a company I want to work for and I probably know someone relatively influential there. It’s sort of a professional courtesy to recommend business school classmates even decades afterwards. These network effects are also why there’s often a bimodal distribution in outcomes between “top” schools and the rest of the pack.
