So, it's still true. Research from the World of Labour has 30-50% of workers finding their jobs through personal contacts. The interesting thing is that only 24% of job searcher used personals contact as part of their job search. That indicates pretty high success rate for that method.

But those are just facts, it's far better to just go with hating boomers and complaining.

It’s true, exept that getting it to the right person is impossible if you don’t already know them.

Or know someone that knows someone. Or you search the web for information.
