Hello,
I have questions please about the referral thing:
1- Can someone working in a specific practice at PwC make a referral for someone to join another practice or another ofice?
2- Can someone working at EY make a referral for someone to join EY-Parthenon?
3- Does the referral program work for the entry-level positions?
Thank you in advance

Hi there,
1. In general, yes. The important of the referral may vary, but it still holds value. Furthermore, there are differences between a "system-based" referral and a "personal" referral (i.e. sending your resume to HR and telling them to take alook)
2. Same answer as #2...but it would likely carry less weight (and I'm not entirely sure that it would be system-based)
3. Absolutely
Let me reword your 1-3 questions and answer what you're really asking "should I bother networking with people related to, but not directly involved with the specific practice in which I'm interested?" The answer is a resounding YES. Even if you don't get a referral from them, you can "play tag" and get put in touch with people closer to your target. Spread your net wide not narrow when it comes to networking!
Hi,
1.2. It depends on the seniority of the consultant who does the referral (e.g. principals and partners can do it). However, an internal referral is preferred
3. yes of course

Hi there,
However the local referrals are preferred, a referral is always a referral :)
Totally agree with Ian about networking!
