I have gotten 30 referrals during my job hunt, and in the past few days there have been numerous DMs regarding how I did it.
So I have recently switched roles from senior product analyst to Product Manager, in a span of 3 months.
For companies like Razorpay , Sprinto, Meesho I was able to secure interviews via refferals.
This is a guide to how I did it, so that anyone of you looking for jobs can benefit and make some steps ahead in the journey.
Sharing everything you need to know Refferals (Save and share🚀):
Whom to ask(in order of priority because this helps with faster reverts):
1. Direct acquaintances
2. Your LinkedIn connections
3. People who have hiring label in their profile, just go to comapny profile on linkedIn-> people -> hiring
4. People who are active on LinkedIn, like just check their last months activity.
I tried aiming atleast 10 people for one company.
Sample referral Notes ( these are the exact ones I used) :
📍While sending Connection request:
Hey [Name], How are you? I came across an opening at [company] for [z] role, [job id]. I graduated from [college] and have [x] years of experience in the Product team at [company]. I find myself a right fit for the role, can you refer me for the same?
📍If connection request is accepted ( you don’t want to delay this, be very proactive here):
Hey [Name], thanks for accepting my request.
Sharing you my resume below, would be really helpful if you could provide a referral.
📍If they have shared resume with hiring team and you want to follow up:
Hey [Name],
I was wondering if you could advise me on how I can track the progress of my application at [company]? Do you have a specific portal or should I follow up with someone directly?
P.S: Once I realised that only asking for referral isn’t enough, it’s equally important to follow up and keep a track that you actually have received a referral also.
💡This trick definitely increased my conversions of getting referred 2-3x.
Do try this out!

Placement season is here!!
I know how daunting this process can be! So thought of sharing my Sprinklr Interview Experience today, which might help a lot of you, to gain an understanding of how product interviews operate. With this guide by your side, you'll feel supported, encouraged, and motivated every step of the way.
Round 1: Written Aptitude Test/Screening Test
This is a written quiz, where 30 questions are asked in 30 minutes, based on mental ability questions. These are generally based on concepts around Venn diagrams and logical reasoning. Based on score and resume, candidates were selected for the next round.
Round 2: Technical Round
This was a product-based round of 60 min where questions were asked on Root Case Analysis (RCA) and there were lots of questions on my Resume including projects I have worked on and previous internships.
Round 3: Technical Round
This was again a round involving questions around testing your design knowledge and how deeply you observe a product in your day-to-day life. Questions revolved around Product thinking and Favourite products.
Round 4: Technical Round
One major Case study was asked to solve in this round which involved all areas from identifying the problem to user research to deep diving into the solution along with guestimate.
Round 5: Culture Fit Round
This was the final round where HR evaluated areas around the expectations from the role if our values match with the core company values also this is the best place where you can clear all your doubts and gain an understanding of your work.
In the comments section, let me know in case you have any doubts or need any help.
Remember, you've got this! 🌟
Believe in yourself!
Share this incredible resource with your friends and juniors!
