Has anyone actually gotten an interview for a role you applied to where you: 1) didn't have an internal referral or apply with any kind of referral link? OR 2) Didn't email or Linkedln DM the hiring manager and/or recruiter directly after applying? Honestly I’ve applied with a referral link many times and never even heard from the recruiter.

Only 1 out of 4 of my jobs in the past decade has been through referral. Rest of them, I applied, got contacted, went through the process and got the job.
