I know this is lame but why does asking for a referral feel like begging for the soul😭

@avoiding_coding In reality, a referral isn't a plea for charity it is just a signal booster to help our skills cut through the digital noise of thousands of automated applications.

@avoiding_coding We grow up believing that "good work speaks for itself." When you have to ask for a referral, it feels like you're admitting your work isn't loud enough to be heard on its own.
