I helped someone else get hired - what worked for you?

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. He started on Monday. Thank you for the advice that got me here.

Thanks for sharing. It makes the forum better.

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