So, then, my friend who got hired at UAL because her dad worked there and helped open doors for her is a bad person, too? It doesn't matter now, because she's on furlough, but come on now.

Do you think that our current President would be President without daddy'a help? Do you think the guy who ran against him would have gotten there without his daddy's help?

Letting folks you know give you a hand when you need it is nothing new. That's what networking is all about.

You can be damn sure that if I've got an edge, a little something that gives me an advantage over lots of other very qualified candidates, I am going to use it. It could be that my dad plays golf with the hiring manager's father or that my brother knows his son from law school. I don't care, you can be sure I'm going to use it!

And if it's good enough for the two men who ran for President of the United States in 2000, well, it's good enough for me.
