How Ethical Is This? This question is about helping a friend get a job.

A friend of mine is applying for a job where I now work. I was hired about two weeks ago. My boss told me that if I know anyone looking for a job to let them know but to my surprise my friend had already applied. So my boss doesn’t know we are friends because I didn’t get a chance to tell her to use me as a reference. Anyhow she got an interview!!

So I let her know a little about what they expect for the job. For example they place importance on experience organizing events. I also let her know that my boss values appropriate interview attire. I did not tell her any specific interview questions although I probably could have because I was only interviewed a few weeks ago.

I think it is a nice thing to do for my friend but at the same time it seems unfair for others. However I do think that the other people could come up with the same information themselves by reading the job description.

Sigh
