It's about who you know - Real Mum story on MoM

25 Comments

The age old truism ‘is not what you know but, who you know’ has been especially true for me the last couple of days. I scored a part time job through friends and was seeking cost price products for a group I volunteer for but, was able to secure these for free through the people I knew. It’s all about who you know sometimes….

Well done on getting your tones for free. It is all about who you know particularly in small towns

I totally agree with that statement although it is not just knowing people it is also having a good relationship with them

Sometimes it can help with getting your foot in the door, but then you do have to shine!
