Absolute truth. I have had many jobs at this point and the only one I've ever gotten without already knowing someone was my first job at a grocery store. Even with that one I didn't just fill out an application and drop it off. I found the guy who ran the store and handed it to him personally (did I know him at that point? ;) ). He glanced at it and told me to start the next day.

Every job since then I've been recruited by someone that I already knew who worked there.
