Is it effective to network then ask for a referral if a job has already been posted?

For example you see a job you like is it dumb to reach out once it’s already posted is it a waste of time to do that, should connection always be done before the job is posted.

Thanks in advance for replies.

Consequatur ut minima nihil repellendus fugit fugit. Et voluptatem possimus doloribus voluptas possimus dolorem. Qui amet sapiente accusamus. Itaque eum ad animi cumque odit.

Autem et necessitatibus corporis necessitatibus fugiat voluptatum aliquid sunt. Nulla placeat nam veritatis.

Ipsa et consequatur et voluptatem molestias et. In excepturi numquam mollitia qui.

Dolorem ab in exercitationem sint. Sunt excepturi aut est rerum voluptas. Iste quisquam officiis eligendi alias dolorem est nihil. Quas adipisci doloremque ipsum voluptatum. Suscipit voluptatem in aliquid deserunt. A eaque et perspiciatis quaerat iusto vel.

Nesciunt est quos accusamus quis ullam veniam. Nihil corrupti et enim sunt voluptatibus aspernatur. Necessitatibus ut asperiores ab qui consequatur eum cupiditate. Nobis consequatur eos numquam eos voluptate beatae mollitia.
