that's too bad. friends that can directly vouch for your skills are the easiest way into a job. still, don't forget a lot of companies give a bonus for any referral that results in a hire. unless you've specifically pissed them off, I bet most people who even vaguely recall that you've worked together would be willing to refer you. I got my current job through a second-degree connection. I didn't even know the guy that referred me.
