Respectfully I have never gotten an interview let alone a job via a connection in my life. I maintain zero contact with previous coworkers.
Also I don't understand why you said I must have connections and then a sentence later say connections mean nothing.
You are right though, it has been 16 months since I interviewed so things may be different.
- scruple 3y agoConversely, 4 of my 5 employers in the last ~20 years in this industry have been through my network. I'm still I interviewing, but the process has been relatively painless for me otherwise, especially in the face of anecdotes like the GP and the OP.
- bluesroo 3y agoI mean, the timeframe was also important there. Yes, that 16 months makes a huge difference right now. That's the exact time that I basically walked through my interviews to 6 offers. RE Connections: I meant they only matter if they are high up enough to literally hand you a position. Anything lower than that (i.e. an IC referral) was completely useless in 7 different companies.
