Recently, I've gotten to connect a few job seekers with people I know are hiring. And they always express gratitude, which is nice. But here's how they could really thank me.
Follow up on the lead promptly. Research the company, so you know what clients they have. Research whoever's interviewing you, and show interest in the work they've done. Nail your interview. Show up on time, book or resume in hand. Be positive, be competent, be smart. If you get the job, work your butt off. No dropped balls, no missed deadlines.
When someone refers you, they're laying their credibility on the line. Maybe even risking a professional relationship. If you look good, they look good. And that's the best thanks of all.
