When you're looking for work and a friend of yours says to you that an opening at his company could be just right for you, that's the best kind of referral. The company right away likes this because they know that a person working there wouldn't just bring anyone in, and you have such an inside track on the job because the company haa such a great way of knowing what you like – through the person who referred you.
