It's not what you know, but who you know.

Yes that is right,now in our society,relationship and background sometimes is the most important things. And I just want to quote a saying from Bill Gates"life is not easy,get used to it."

It is not fair but this has been happening forever. I worked for over thirty-two years in corporate america and that is the practice of most companies. I believe all applicants should get a fair chance and the best person for the job should get it. Not because someone knows someone. That to me could also cause other problems on the job between the two who are friends. Maybe going for the same promotion, etc... It's a bad practice but one that will be around till the end of time, unfortunately.

This is so common in today’s industry. Most especially that some companies are run by a family dynasty which means, the good positions are always run by some family/relative members and their friends and acquaintances. Such tradition is not fair, because those who strive hard to work on a good job doesn’t have the opportunity to do so because the position available is already set received to those people who are given a fine treatment which means, they don’t need to go over training because they are hired because they are affiliated with the boss itself.
