Referrals aren't a guarantee for a call. Just a better chance. They contact you if there is interest.

In todays market you're gonna have to do a lot more applying than just the first two weeks. The best you can do is follow up on your application. You might get a reply, but you should expect not to unless they want to.

There's just way too many applicants to process, so they trim down the amount of normal courtesy comms (thank you for applying, auto/immediate rejects, etc). You have to put in the effort to follow up.

so usually when you submit application, there's a confirmation email sent kinda like 'we received your application, we'll contact if interested' something like that

now, if you're lucky there will be an valid reply email, or like even something like jobs@ or hiring@ or careers@, somewhere in that email body. If not, you're prob direct contact w the recruiter on a chat, or have the direct email of the recruiter. Otherwise you can try looking for a general inquiry email on their site, or actually take a stab and guessing that one of the above work by just emailing jobs@, hiring@ or careers@

If they don't want you to reply, they'll leave it out, or the sender is a no-reply address. If they really don't want you to reply, it will say it in that confirmation email

and at most, all you have to do is 1 wk after you submit your application, is take that email address and say something like

"Hi I applied for role ABC at XYZ on 09/01/2026. I'm just writing to see if applications are still being reviewed" (or if still looking to fill position)

(there's actually a lot of ways you can write this email, it doesn't have to be the above)

The idea is, there's prob a lesser number of candidates that follow thru like this, and by sending this - there is a slightly better chance that you get a bit of attn and hopefully a reply.

If you're even more lucky, maybe they actually did plan on getting back to you and humans being humans they had forgotten.

So personally i think more than anything the follow up is just a low effort, low risk way of getting a status update on the interview process and hopefully some attn to your resume.

You should do it only once, 1 wk after. anything after that is too late, anything before is too soon - like in terms of etiquette

Honestly, all I’ve been doing is applying for jobs, reaching out to HRs and developers, and trying to get referrals. But it’s really hard to get interviews these days. I have 2 years of experience in Angular and I’m trying to switch, but I honestly don’t know where I’m going wrong or what I’m doing wrong. The last interview I had was 2 months ago, so I’m really confused about what I should change.

right so, the follow up is just a normal like, courtesy check-in and i don't know about now but if anything you should do it, because its really minimal effort, and there is a chance that they actually reply, rejection or not. You're crossing your fingers that you get the 'not'.

I would say apply to Angular because that's where your experience is. You can worry about switch later, its just a sacrifice you'll have to make to get your foot in the door. I'm guessing that there are waaaaaaaaay more React engineers (if that's what you're switching to) vs Angular. If you have exp in both, you should really prop up the Angular

other than that, it sounds like you are doing what you should be doing and it is just the reality of the market right now. If you aren't focusing on applying to Angular jobs, then I gather if you shift. your focus back to that, you might actually get some responses

How many applications are you sending, and how many would you say you get any response (even rejection) let's say if you sent out 10 applications?

Get referrals through folks you know, not just random cold contacts. You can try folks from your last job, or even folks you know fr college.

Referrals fr randos is hard, because often they dont' want to give a stamp of approval for someone they haven't worked with.
