Cold messaged someone on LinkedIn who'd never met me and it turned into a referral three weeks later
#job-search#networking#referrals
Sent a short message to someone at a company I wanted in, just asked one specific question about their team's stack instead of the usual 'any advice for someone trying to break in.' They actually answered, we went back and forth a few times over two weeks, and they offered to refer me before I even asked. Think the specificity is what got a reply at all.

AnonymousAnon Did you already have some connection to them, even a weak one, or was this fully cold? Trying to gauge how realistic this is for someone with zero mutuals at the company.

AnonymousAnon The specific question angle is such an underrated move. I've sent generic 'any advice' messages into the void for months, tried asking something narrow last week and got my first real reply in ages.
