I understand referrals help but a good resume trumps that as long as you apply for the right jobs and have the right skill set you will get interview requests.
Not trying to boast but just motivate -
So far I have interviews lined up with Facebook, Amazon and Apple - I applied for 18 positions on Amazon, 2 for Facebook and 5 for Apple. I have not used referral and directly applied on their website. Try and and apply for job posting that are new like less than 2-3 weeks.
If you have someone to refer good for you but nonetheless you should focus on improving your skill set and your resume.
