Passed on a lead and they got the job - what worked for you?

A neighbour told me about her job search, and I shared a lead I found here. Any experience at all would help. It felt good to give something back after others helped me. Thank you for the advice that got me here.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 12 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
