I applied 2x with a referral and never even got to a screening call. Ended up getting the position I have now without a referral.

Nope! I applied like 10s of them in support with referrals but never got call, but I this one I applied by myself & got call. 😎

Because mostly a referral is only considered when your friend selects that you have worked with them, otherwise it doesn’t matter.

Nope. Only after the candidate joins

Doesn't work like that, the first question on the referral is "how do you know them". If the answer isn't "I worked with them directly" the referral basically goes in the trash.

I interviewed for an employed role and knocked my business plan pitch out the park, but could tell I disappointed them with my technical. By my own admission I’m lacking in this area as only have 1.5 years experience with a poor manager who only had me focus on biz dev.

They asked me what my salary expectations are but had already hinted my experience would knock me down a pay grade.

As it was 4 of them and 1 of me I said I would email them. How do I play this without lowballing myself?
