Abstract

Several surveys have noted that at least one-third of people obtain jobs through friends, relations and contacts — not through any agency or Jobcentre.1 If you know someone, you are lucky; it may be that you can get a job by word-of-mouth, when there is no actual formal vacancy, just by calling and following up contacts until an employer is found who needs an extra person.
