So is it a case of who you know rather than what you know? ive to explain in more detail this time... 2 people go for 1 job.. 1 has the qualifications the other doesnt.. but he knows the bosses brothers wives cats owner... so he gets the job ... is this fair?? Ordinary folks like us waiting in hospital queues to be treated.. someone comes along with money and fame.. they jump the queue... Is this fair... or is this just 1 of lifes bains that we have to suffer??
Life in general... that is all  |

I don't think that from the outside anyone but the person inter_iewing or offering the job can say who is more qualified or could be better at it than someone else
They're the ones that make the decisions after all and to assume that someone has only been offered a position because they know someone is not only unfair to them but sounds like sour grapes 
People with money will always be able to pay for priveleges may not seem fair to some but if they have worked hard to earn it then why should'nt they be able to spend it on what they want? I know I would if I had loads  |

Oh I should have added this too,what if you were offered a job and everyone around said oh shes only got it becasue of who she knows and not because she's able to do the job,I expect it would make you feel really bad,I know it would make me feel bad as well as unsupported in a new role  |

I have to agree with honey ... no business in their right mind would employ someone who wasnt qualified for the position but because they know a distant relative. As for the money part i know if any my kids needed something done urgently but was told there was a "queue" I would pay for it to be done .. is it fair yip its called looking after your own . xx |

I have bought premier tickets in Disneyland so as not to Q as long, to being a Platinum member of the Marriott rewards so I don't Q as long at check in/out.. I pay for private healthcare as I see my health as the NUMBER 1 priority if ever I need anything.
If inter_iewing for someone to report into my line of management, I would be extremely foolish not to pick the best candidate, my achievement of objectves depends on my team.. and we/I would want to win.
