27. Friction-Free Referrals: How to Help your Helpers

Episode 27 Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

Referrals can be game-changers in the job search, particularly if they come from people who know you and can recommend you to a hiring manager or recruiter. Here are 5 easy ways to make that interaction as friction-free as possible. 

  1. Set up a calendar system. Here are a few to try: Cal.com, Tidycal, Cal.zo
  2. Have a resume ready to send at a moment's notice - even from your phone
  3. Provide a short list of job titles that you're looking for.
  4. Develop an elevator pitch that tells someone in ~30 seconds what you're looking for. 
  5. Once you get a commitment to refer you, email them a forwardable list of bullet points on why you'd be great at the job

Your people want to help you. It's your job to make it as easy for them as possible.
