I guess the takeaway is if you don't already have a solid network to draw referrals from your top priority while job hunting should be attending networking events to build one?

Yes. If you can chat with someone face-to-face you’re already miles ahead of an online application. I wouldn’t even say you need to have a solid network. I just reached out to people on LinkedIn (some of whom I didn’t know).

Out of 10 interviews how many were from the referral category?

Shane325tahun lalu

7 from referrals. 2 interviews from networking events, and 1 from an inbound email (which turned into an offer).

So referrals got you more interviews but the inbound got you the job? Interesting. My buddy also got his job recently from an inbound.
