I am a new grad and I feel awkward to ask my friends for referrals.
Just ask them and be sincere and sell yourself
Can I pm you?
Lmao genius approach
Just be honest and ask for it. If you get the offer, there’s usually bonus
Dude. Everyone wants to give referrals. Most companies give a referral bonus (often 5k) so I'd happily refer anybody (within reason) to get that money.
So Can I dm you for referral?
Be shameless. All of them are.
How about the people you dont know? How should I approach asking them?
Express your interest in the company and ask if they have any tips for interviewing and applying. They should offer up a referral at that point if it's something they are willing to do.
