Your story is changing. It went from "I seem to be a solid guy that they met on the internet" to hey, this guy told me a bout a job opening you have. 2 different situations. I hope you find the job you wan t and it works out for you.

It isn't changing. I'm explaining what a referral is and how it isn't as personal as a letter of recommendation. If you're an employee on a job site, you wouldn't refer someone you met on that said job site if you felt they were incompetent, but you don't have to be their friend, either. It's a softer judge of character than a reference or recommendation.

You could know enough about a person you met online to refer them, but it would be unwise to write a letter or recommendation for them or let them use you as a reference. These are three separate things. My story isn't changing.

You're free to see it as you want. We all set our ethic levels in life. I've said my piece. I'm done.

Just a word of advice, don't take much stock in your dope smoking supporter in looking for a job in SPFD. LOL.
