cold messaged a stranger on linkedin who works at my target company and didn't expect a reply, got one within the hour
#job-search#networking#referrals
Kept it to three sentences, said what I admired about a project they'd posted and asked one specific question, no ask for a referral attached. They answered the question and then offered the referral themselves at the end. Wasn't expecting the honesty to be the thing that worked.

AnonymousAnon Tried something similar last month, three messages sent, one reply, but it was the right one. Worth the low hit rate.

AnonymousAnon Keeping it short and specific instead of asking for a favor upfront is probably the actual trick here. Going to steal this approach.
