Yes, I do this all the time. I’ve gotten 5 interviews/referrals this way in the past few weeks. I usually thank them for accepting my request and let them know I’m interested in their company/role and see if they have a few mins to chat. Then at the end they offer to refer me. Just be nice and straight forward.
Yes, they’re usually alumni.
No but I know a guy who did it to meet the father of a girl he met on bumble and thus create a new version of how they met each other. They’re married now, so it worked.
Damn, well played.
Yep, that’s how I got my job. I do it all the time.
Did this and posted a few days ago about getting 0 responses from 20-25 linkedin messages.
Yeah I’ve tried both ACN and school alum. Usually school alum are pretty receptive so don’t know what happened
Done this and been successful at getting referrals at mutilple places including interview with Uber.
Have you gotten responses back to such emails? Does it matter if the person is connected to one of the partners I know in my current firm?
Thank you VP1 and D1
