Okay to reach out to a Partner you do not know personally for a recommendation after the hiring manager mentioned he was his boss in their previous jobs?

Need to frame it better than that or it sounds like you’re just using them.
1. reach out leveraging the manager to introduce yourself and make the connection
2. Set up a convo about the job/company/ your interest and background
3. Give them what they need to “want” to endorse you, and then ask for the endorsement if you need to steer the convo

How do you expect the partner to recommend you?

So why do we have a network? Must you know everyone in the network to be able to use the network?

^ I like this. Thanks

I wouldn’t endorse you, and I can’t think of any Partner in my network that would. A recommendation implies that you have worked with this person and personally experienced their value and knowledge. How can you do this for someone you don’t know. Get out of your cloud and reach out to your personal network
