Initially its who. once ensconsed, its what.

Actually its both, at least where i work. you have to first meet the rigid qualifications for the position. this includes physical, psychological, and educational requirements. also, background criteria is very strict. Once the above has been satisfied, its passing 24 weeks of grueling training, including 3 mile runs everday and constant testing. If you have made it to this paragraph, then its time for a little political assistance. no, its not a widely known fact, but it still exists. Looking at the percentages: 80% of what you know and 20% of whos who. Its not who you know that counts, at least not in my department. very strict rules govern each process of employment and there is a watchdog over the whole process, to insure fairness to all.

I think that most of the time its who you know.
-
its who you know and what you show. =)

In the last few years, I've learned that it mostly about WHO you know and less what you know.
-
What you know, otherwise you depend on others to know things for you.
-
I don't know "anybody" so I guess it's gonna have to be WHAT I know.
-
Depends on what you want out of life. If you're happy doing something because someone you knew made it possible then by all means. But I think it is better to achieve it by as you say "what you know". It is always harder to do it on your own but it is also more rewarding IMO.
-
It should be what you know but sadly it's all about WHO you know.
-
In a lot of cases it is certainly WHO you know that will get them to look at WHAT you know. I have to admit that i have been helped by who my father knew. It opens doors but once open you have to prove yourself because you will let down the person that helped you. It is their reputation at stake as well as your own.
-
it is a little of both.
-
Because we live in a society it's probably Who you know AND what they need.
