Once you’ve found a position you’re interested in check before applying to see whether you know someone at the company who can refer you to the position. Employers prefer receiving a referral from a trusted member of their staff.
Some employers, such as Freddie Mac, offer incentives to their employees for referring a successful candidate to the company. It's a win-win situation for everyone. You get a new job, and your contact gets a bonus for attracting a top-notch employee.
Leverage Social Media
