I think so. You still have the opportunity to make an impression after the interview with a referral

I think referrals help you get the position, you definitely need to do well on the interview but having someone vouch for you is super important.

like

100% because the hiring manager will reach out to your referrer to ask questions about how you were to work with.

^^ this. But also, if you reach out to someone new asking for a referral, make sure you get sometime with them to discuss your profile and work ethics and so on. The impression you make on them will lead to a more serious referral.

Yes but you would need the referral before you applied.

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything.
