What is the best, if any, referral groups? Am I just being lazy? Been in the biz 18 years and I’m used to just cold calling. Never had luck trying to connect with other professionals for referrals.

@ A.E I get business, but it is not great. I have built some good relationships over the years and it is just enough to keep it going. It is only 25 bucks a month for the group. This year I received 4 referrals and it was 600k in closed business.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??
