At my first ever interview, things were not going great. The guy interviewing me said that I basically had no experience to bring to the job and they had seen people with more skills and better suited etc. I had pretty much resigned myself to not getting the job and then the interviewer asked to see my record of achievement, he saw what school I had gone and said...oh my son went to that school. It turned out his son knew my brother and lo and behold, the job was mine. Nothing to do with skills etc but just because for once having the golden child as a brother worked in my favour
