" Most People Forget That Others Helped Them Get Employment ! "
The vast majority of people who were asked by Nancy DiTomaso of Rutgers Business School how they found their jobs cited THEIR OWN SKILLS and hard work; and forgot the reference help or guidance they received ; just 14% mentioned that they had received help of any kind from others ! ( Target group : White Americans , 70% male )
But favoritism is almost universal in today's job market, she says; it's false to think that companies' decisions about interviews and hiring are based on merit.
