A person I know was looking for a job and I told them I knew a manager (not at my employer) that was looking to hire (full-time with good benefits) and I could pretty much guarantee them the job with a phone call to my former colleague and vouch for this person and their quality of work / skills.
The person hemmed and hawed about driving 45 miles and 1 hour to work everyday. Fast forward a few months and this person will soon be out of work due to job contract expiration (was a temp with zero benefits, doesn't work for my employer) and now doesn't have anything lined up.
Why not take the job 45 miles away and keeping looking for something closer to home in the mean time while you are collecting a paycheck ?
In this job market you have to take what you can find and quietly be looking. What would you do if someone tried to help you get a job ?
