Is it a good idea to hedge my bets and ask multiple people for referrals or is that rude?

Usually once someone refers you, you’re in the system and can’t be referred by anyone else. At least that’s how it works here.

I once asked for multiple referrals from different people. Referrals are meant to make someone's application stand out from the rest of the applicants. It means that someone is vouching for you. The more referrals the more you get noticed.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard

I interviewed at a law firm and had my final round last Friday. The Tuesday afterward, I got a call from the recruiter saying the firm won’t have a decision for another week. I believe they’re interviewing other candidates. Does that make me second or third choice? And does the fact that I’m working with a recruiter hurt my chances of being selected due to the commission? Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?
