An MBA student leveraged the buzz around Coldplay's upcoming concert in Mumbai to seek job referrals in a ticket-related discussion on X (formerly Twitter).
Saumil Tripathi, founder of Grapevine, shared the student's creative approach, where he asked professionals for referrals amidst the ticket frenzy. Surprisingly, his request garnered responses, including one from a Razorpay employee, who invited him to direct message for a referral.
This unconventional networking tactic highlights the innovative ways individuals are expanding their professional networks, demonstrating the power of creativity and opportunism in job searching. Coldplay's concert is scheduled for January 2025.
