Episode 20 Show Notes:
"What people never tell you is if you cold apply, you're put into a pool with everyone else. But if you just know somebody on the inside. That now puts you in an internal referral pool, for you to now be bumped up for a recruiter actually reaching out to you about a job opportunity."
