Referrals don’t mean what they used to. Blind and rooftopslushie have completely ruined and discredited referrals for everyone.

I think you’re right

Referral just means some human will look at your resume. Doesn't mean they'll give you a phone screen.

It’s reduced to that because of abuse. Referrals used to carry a lot of weight.

I think they still do if someone significant gives a referral

Are you currently a sales engineer?

Northrop Grumman HowCouldYu OP Oct 8, 2019

No, but my contact who referred me said people got in without previous experience

Sure, there are other factors such as how they thought the previous experience was related and how many spots they need to fill. Point being a referral is not a sureshot interview opportunity.

What kind of blacklist is it? Can anybody explain?

Like a whitelist but darker
