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

I referred a former colleague for a role at my new company. This is my first time dealing with any of this. It felt good to give something back after others helped me. Thank you for the advice that got me here.

I hope I can do the same when I am back on my feet.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 10 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
