Applying for jobs outside of India. I know referrals are the best way, but it's a very slow road.
Is it better to directly apply on job websites?

Please advise.
Thanks!

To be honest it's not a good suggestion

You see a job, you have two options,
1. Look for a referral
2. Directly go to the opening and apply

Anyway I have had an idea,
Cold messaging for referrals, wait a day, if no response, apply on the website

Thanks none the less :)

I am still amazed how can they do this after asking my documents.
