I never refer anyone unless we’re actual friends. Period.
Thank you for answering. This would make sense.
Some ppl are weirdos like that. Don’t let it discourage you, this is the main way I have landed jobs/made myself stand out. There are strangers that I have cold intro’d myself to that are good friends of mine now. Keep networking. Keep going.
Also I would ALWAYS give a referral to a stranger if they made a good impression. You don’t know what people go through and idk why ppl think gatekeeping is ok especially when layoffs are through the roof. Pay it forward.
Thank you for this. I learned that people like to watch other people struggle. Many get satisfaction knowing that someone has to literally beg for help. Also, I believe it’s a privilege issue for sure. They either have never been laid off or are not struggling financially even though they may be laid off. You can’t even ask for coffee chats anymore nowadays because if they don’t benefit from it immediately they won’t go through with it which is sad. The American people are selfish I’m sometimes embarrassed to say I’m an American because the disregard for others livelihoods.
I get very annoyed by:
PERSON: Can you give me the name of your recruiter?
ME: (I give them the name of our recruiter)
PERSON: Ok great, now can you connect me to the recruiter in an email?
If I received a message like this, without any effort to get to know me or build a connection, I’d feel annoyed too.
