Top tier bank Referral Accident for SA

Hi guys,

It is my first time applying for a role at a Bank. So, I was thinking that referred applicants get an internal link.

So, I was referred and the HR said that I did not apply to the position and actually asked about it to the person referring me. I immediatly applied. But I wanted to ask did I messed up and missed my only chance?

Thanks everyone!
