Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I've worked at 10 different places since 1992, and I've gotten roughly half through referrals and the rest through recruiters/monster/linkedin/etc. By far the more pleasant experiences have been the "cold" ones that I didn't get through a personal referral.
- ghaff 3y agoI'm sure it varies. But the three different places I've worked since the mid-80s have been (post-grad school recruiting) through personal contacts. But then that's a lot different from 10 jobs in 10 years.
