Imperial guy here, lurker on this page - I see y'all are also miserable lol, but I think Imperial takes the crown by a long shot.
Anyways, I've been applying to Enbridge, without a reference since I don't know anyone, and so far I have been rejected on all 6 applications I did.
Is the only way in to know someone?
Pretty much exactly what the title says. I know someone who just got a bachelors in exercise science who's trying to look for a job. The Fidelity base closest to me has a gym, so I thought to refer him to a job there as a trainer. How can I do that as someone who does not work at Fidelity anymore? Are the people who work at the gym Fidelity employees themselves, or do they come in from some other way of employment? Thanks!
Starting to look heavily externally and here are some of my learnings so far.
It’s a tough market. You better be applying to roles where it’s a 1:1, meaning you can definitely do that role or are very experienced. Unfortunately not the time for a career pivot if you’re unhappy with the work you do.
In situations where I have successfully got an interview (3x in the last couple of years when I’ve just passively applied), I have had strong referrals.
This last one is more just something I do.
What am I missing? What would you add? I’m serious about getting the he-l out of here in the near future.
Hi guys-
I’ve never referred anyone before but my husband has been out of work for 4 months and a role is opening up (5 day internal hold right now) for the public that he is 100% qualified for.
Looking for anyone with experience in the referral process. Please don’t say “don’t do it” we can’t live on a one household income. Do they always call referrals? Does it flag to HR? Is there a way to message the hiring manager? We have different last names and won’t be announcing our relationship status.
Got laid off today from Gainwell due to badge/rebadging, offshore changes, AI implementation, and poor management decisions.
Multiple accounts were affected, with around 50 people laid off the same day.
No prior notice — it all happened immediately.
Frustrating situation, but I’m staying focused on what’s next.
If you know of any opportunities, I’d really appreciate a referral.
I was casually looking at the Optum internal job postings and I didn't filter to United States and out of curiosity I clicked on a couple offshore job postings. Guess what the referral bonus amounts I saw are $20,000 & $37,500.
It blew my mind. Stateside referral bonuses are usually $500 or $1000.
Geezus!
One of the perks of being in a toxic workplace that has experienced massive layoffs is that you have a large alumni network of people who have left and figured it out. We are here for you... willing to give recommendations, referrals and share our network... just reach out. Admittedly, the market is hard, but having a personal connection gives you a huge advantage.
Mouser said there is a 25% referral requirement. Requirements that are completely legal and not going anywhere. SNP departments have to refer to humana owned pharmacy. They encourage push back and aggressive sales tactics are rewarded.
These cuts may save Google mere thousands; they also come as Google faces increasingly strained relationships with news publishers. August data from the trade association Digital Content Next showed median referral traffic from Google Search to publishers fell 10% between May and June of this year, with non-news brands experiencing 14% drops.

If Humana would allow CWP employees to do their jobs without the added cr-p and specific talking points etc, we'd have way more referrals to CWP. All the jargon is bogging employees down and stressing them out, and members are picking up on it.
