welcome to life.

So you're telling me, that when you meet the minimums of an airline, and let's say your uncle/friend walks in your resume with a few letters of recs, they offer you the job, you're going to turn it down? Didn't think so.

I've had the opportunity to interview/hire people. Let me just say this, I interview someone I do not know that is highly qualified and gives a decent interview. Then I interview someone who comes in with tons of letters of recs, knows a few people around the office and is qualified, but may not have the experience of the first. I am going to hire the person who comes recommended. Mainly because you feel as if you already know the persons character before they walk into the door.
