I came here to say that. Who you know makes the other two criteria become irrelevant.

At my work they openly mention that 80% of their hires are from referrals. And I’m not talking about a little unknown company. They have more than 10,000 employees. I’m one of the 20%.

However, I only got my first job because I knew a VP at that company.
