10. STEP 1:-WHOM SHOULD YOU SEND
THE MESSAGE?
• Find people who are working in your
target company.

domain. They can judge you better based
on your resume and your skills.
• LinkedIn allows you to send messages to a
limited number of people. Prefer people
who’ve been active on LinkedIn in the
past one month. Here, activity means a
like/comment/post/share.

11. STEP2:-WHAT SHOULD YOU SEND IN
THE MESSAGE?
• Follow these DOs and DONTs to decide what to send.
• Cut the small talk and get to the point. Don’t drop a
“Hi” and wait for the other person to respond back to
continue the conversation.
• Provide proper context. Don’t just send a straight “Can
you refer me?” without any context.
• Keep the message informative. Send your message
with the proper job id and URL of the opening (from
company career page, LinkedIn, etc.).
• If your message is concise and appealing, your
chances of getting a reply will be pretty high.

you will most likely get a lot of referrals from
multiple amazing people.

even read your message immediately.
• If you do not get a reply, send a follow up
message after a few days. Send at max 2–3
follow ups spread across 10–15 days.
• If it still doesn’t work, try to find someone else
for a referral.

Respect their time. Most of these people
get a lot of messages on LinkedIn. You
do not want your message to be ignored
among the other messages.”
