@inthehands I have been hired 7 times in my career. The number of times I did not have a personal connection to someone on the inside (sometimes the hiring manager themselves) was zero.

One side effect is that I’ve internalized the idea that “I don’t interview well,” because I don’t otherwise get offers for jobs I think I’m qualified for. And twice that I know of I was being rejected and got reconsidered because of the personal connection.
