The RIGHT way to ask strangers for a Job Referral

Messaging people for a Job referral ≠ Casually texting your friends
Sometimes, when you approach a stranger on platforms like Linkedin for a Job referral, you don't pay attention to what you're writing.
Often, your message will come across as rude or unprofessional, which is the reason most people ignore your request or worse, just remove you from their connections.
Write better messages, leave a better impression, get more referrals from people.
In this video, I'll teach you basic etiquette that you need to follow when asking strangers for a Job referral.

Here are the message templates that I personally use during referral conversations.
CONVERSATION STARTER

Hey Raghav, hope you're doing great.
I was wondering if you'd be open to refer me for a role at Dunder Mifflin.
I found this particular opening extremely suitable for me:
A little bit about me - I'm a DevOps engineer with six plus years of experience.
I have mostly worked at young, fast-paced startups, and I'm now looking for bigger challenges.
I'm happy to share my resume and other details if you need. Looking forward to your response.
Cheers!

IF YOU COULDN'T FIND ANY SUITABLE ROLES ON THE COMPANY'S CAREER PORTAL

Are there any openings for front-end engineers in your company?
I couldn't find anything on the careers portal. So I was wondering if people on the inside have better visibility into open positions.
