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).

Shane325 · 1h ago

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