I helped someone else get hired - any advice?

A neighbour told me about her job search, and I shared a lead I found here. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. It felt good to give something back after others helped me. Anyone else paying it forward?

Nice work. Referrals count for a lot.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
