• One thing it is important not to sleep on is the people who are asked to recommend or referee you. If they have seen your bad side or simply do not like you for one reason or another, they may have the clout to keep you from taking a position. We are always told that who we know is one of the most vital parts of the job hunt, and this is also true in the negative sense. When we have not been giving off a good impression in another job or even in other areas of our lives, things won't go as well with those who are supposed to champion our professionalism. Managers and employees shared the reasons that they stopped someone they know from getting a job, and the answers seem to have a theme.
