Episode 124 | Referrals Do It Better

Question

Work Wives, my name is Antoinette. I'm from Pittsburgh. Okay, I'll start here: I'm struggling to find a job. I was laid off in September and a friend recommended your episode on resume-writing and batch applying, but I'm still not getting anywhere. I'm so disheartened and I'm really not sure what to do and I'm really not sure what to do next or how long I can keep doing this before I go work at Starbucks or McDonald's! Do you two have anything else I can do?

Summary

We're willing to bet that your best relationships — romantic, platonic, or otherwise — were NOT Hinge, Bumble, or Tinder meet-cutes.

So on this Valentine's Day, if you're looking for a job, take a lesson from dating: referrals do it better.
