    Hello everyone,

    I have a few HR and senior managers from the big 4 as my connections on LinkedIn. What’s the best approach to ask for a referral or assistance on securing a position with their company?

    Thanks in advance

    I am using Becker self study, ninja blitz and Wiley (I am using the paperback version of the testbank)

    Brief overview of study method:
    1. Skim through chapter quickly
    2. Watch lecture videos
    3. Take a lot of notes on what the lecturers emphasize
    4. Complete half HW after lectures half after rewriting notes

    Are these people you actually know or are just connected with on Linked-in? If someone I had never met, but were connected with on Linked-in asked for a referral to my company, I'm not sure I'd just give one. I'd want to know who the person was and what their work ethic was like before referring them and potentially risking my own reputation at my company with a bad referral. But I would have no problem answering general questions about the process.
