My manager said he doesn't want me to refer my friend. He doesn't like knowing an applicant knows someone in the company because it creates an unfair bias. Think he's genuine or does he not want to hire someone I want to join the team?

Never heard of someone telling a direct report who they should refer or not refer. It’s really not his call. I’m assuming he isn’t making the hiring decision if he’s worried about him getting it

Sus. A few possibilities: 1. They want to fill the position with their own friend. 2. They aren't too fond of you. 3. They really enjoy interviewing and training strangers.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
