[quote=Anonymous]I applied through the web portal without connections and made it through. I'm now a hiring manager and most of our hires come in without connections. We value referrals and they tend to be higher quality candidates, but there are only 1 or 2 referrals out of a 100+ applicants per opening. We can't limit ourselves to who knows some one. OP, make sure your resume reads well and that a clear picture emerges after a 3 second scan. That's all you get from the recruiter screen. Read the job descriptions for your target role at multiple companies and be careful that you've phrased your experience and skills in the language reflected in those job descriptions. Don't leave it to recruiters or hiring managers to translate your experience. They won't. [/quote]
