I reached out to someone on LinkedIn who works in the company I was trying to work for, and I actually got an interview! I didn't know this was possible, so I guess here's a sign you should try to do this if you're still in the job search process. Now let's just hope I get the job too. What do you think is something nice I can do for this person? I know nothing about him and I haven't even bagged the role, but I would really like to return the favor in some way.

I’d be interested to hear what was the message you sent? I’ve been trying this and usually don’t get a response, as expected. Would love an example/ template to see what worked!

Congratulations, OP. And honestly, I needed to hear this. I've been struggling without a job and not getting interviews for a long time. Maybe it's time to switch out my approach and try this. You could ask him directly to be honest. He might decline but just persist and say you'd rather offer something useful for him than do something you think is useful.

Probably send him a thank you hamper showing gratitude with goodies/chocolates that you think they might like. I know you haven't gotten the job yet but it is their thought that counts! Also, good luck on the job ! Hopefully you'll get it for your kind heart that wants to reciprocate kind gestures!

Well that person might get a referral bonus if your hired so think of that. ​If it were me I'd wait till I was hired before I did something more than a thank you card for said person. I think a thank you card or note expressing gratitude for their referral would be nice thing either way. If hired dont make him look bad by being a lousy employee.

I'm a fresh grad and I thought this would be my dream job... I became the 3rd team member in this location and the regional team leader helped me understand and learned a lot... Until about 4 months down the line, he announced to quit. It's about half of year now since I started to feel ever so alone, hopeless and helpless in the team. The actual work is within my capability, but takes me ages to learn coz the overall team is not so collaborative and lacks communication... Maybe I need anew job
