Referrals don't just come from past bosses -- that's what makes them underutilized.

Classmates, LinkedIn connections, former clients -- anyone on the inside saying "yeah, I know them" counts.

I tell everyone: when you are networking and trying to get referrals, everyone is fair game. I have reached out to friends from the past, relatives, you name it. A referral can sometimes help you land an interview, if nothing else.

Just started to be more intentional with my network. Keeping up with people is a job in itself, but it is important. I’m hearing about people doing cold referrals. Reaching out to somebody they don’t know at the company, wondering if that works at all.
