Hey FF

I hope you are right about this. The problem for us "outsiders" with no personal rec is that for every new newhire XO takes on they in their turn have friends to recommend. That's the case with you from what I understand. If your buds get in through your rec, once they hit three months they themselves are eligable to recommend friends. And so it goes on..

I hope you understand this is not meant as critizism. Obviosuly this is not XO unique, and it's of course a sort of safety net for them to go on personal recs. I'm just saying it's easy to get stuck outside of the "circle" due to this.

I guess eventually you might know someone who got in, but some others might not be that fortunate. That's life I guess..

Look at how it was at NetJets a while back when an int rec helped you get a much quicker shot at an interview. If you had no recs it was basically impossible to get in for a while, or the waiting time was painfully long. At the moment nothing really seems to matter at NJA though, the wait is long no matter what.

Keep enjoying XO..
