Family Ties Can Help in Job Search

Someone in your family might be able to find you a job.

According to a recent daily survey conducted by HowStuffWorks.com, about 45% of the respondents said that they had at some point gotten a job through a member of their families.

Similarly, nearly 5% of those responding stated that, while not having gotten a job through a family member, they were able to get a job for a family member.

That leaves about half the respondents, who said they had never gotten a job through a family member.

The online survey, conducted on Thursday, September 23, 2004, consisted of 941 responses.
