Introduce yourself. Share your experience. Get their contact info. Follow up. Then ask.

But if you really want an accenture referral, feel free to DM me here too 🤪🤪🤪

OP, ask them. Tell your story. Seek help. Iam sure they will not mind.
Lastly, if you need referral, ask this bowl.

Flatter them a little then say, “Hey, is ACN hiring? Think someone with (list your skills) is in need? I’ll send you my CV and if you care to refer me, I’d appreciate it.”
Referral bonuses are sweet, so nobody would scoff at a mutually beneficial opportunity. I’ve never made an ACN referral but I’d say it’s better to go with the highest level employee in the service line you want. Also, someone who can note how they know you, and it was in person, may be more legitimate and help your chances.

Don’t mention the lay-off and just ask for a referral. “Hey are you guys hiring and can refer me?” Or, if you want you can DM me and I’ll refer

Yo u don't even need those ppls. We can refer you here! Though if they're SM then they can put u into their practice.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter? I accepted an offer a week ago with a great company (Company A) that for this season in my life seems like a great fit and only strengthens what I have to offer company B down the road. Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
