Four in five adults believe it really IS who you know, not what you know in life, that helps us get ahead in the work environment.
A study of 2,000 Brits discovered 80 percent believe that no matter how hard they work, those with better business contacts will always succeed.
As well as getting a job (68 percent), people think others typically use those they know to help get a promotion (58 percent), a space on a guestlist (54 percent), and work experience (50 percent).
