I work at a sports company and not the easiest to get into as most positions receive hundreds of applicants (if not more). I have a close friend that I referred a year ago for a job, but didn’t get an interview before it was filled.
Since they, they have applied many times to other roles at my company some way out of their league. Lots of times I get a text “I’m applying for this role”. Should I try to refer them every time, or only ones I feel they are a fit? I don't want to overdue it

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews.

The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
