    Just my opinion. I would guess some departments are worse than others when it comes to cronyism. Saw it a lot at DOJ. That place is retarded.

    You don't need to know someone to get promoted. That matters more the higher you go.

    Yes it helps in some areas.

    For the most part, you still have to qualify for the position (missionary, doggy, etc :rofl:) , pass the civil service exam and possess the necessary licenses, if applicable. If you get far enough and make it to the interview, that's when knowing someone "can possibly" help.
