Job referrals are very important in job searches you are more likely to be employed in a company when you are referred from a person in a company.

To get referrals in companies you have to stay up to date to what is happening in companies you are interested to get in, talk to your acquaintance and convince you to refer, this is very important before contacting the recruiter, if you get this chance it will be easier to get in.

Referrals can also come in from former clients or companies you worked in as an employee, you can get this referral by asking your colleagues about your intention on changing jobs.

The point in getting a job, is to try your best and make sure your recruiter likes you, this is very important because they are human beings too and they will always want to offer preferential treatment to people they personally like, you can achieve this by being consistent and throwing in some light jokes.

Networking should also be on your to do lists, you have to know the people working in a bog company and be friends with them so that when opportunity arises they will remember and refer you.
