@Bill Branstetter I’ve gotten five of my friends jobs at a warehouse I used to work at. They all ended up quitting for a variety of reasons. No one new they were my friends, I just told them to apply and they got in.

Networking I would not say is good or bad when finding a job. Consider the individuals introducing you to a new job and their life style, that will help you understand the kind of job you are getting into.

Networking is crucial for finding a new job as it can often lead to opportunities that aren't advertised publicly. Building professional connections can significantly enhance your job search success.
