You might consider asking your friend to help you look into it. (unless your friend is an idiot.) The best recomendation you can have is from someone on the inside that others on the inside respect. When I am on the hunt for employees or interns or co-workers, I ask the employees/co-workers that I know that are doing a very good job, and ask them if they have any friends that they would be willing to vouch for their skills that might be interested in a job. Conversely, if there is someone that works for me who is an idiot, and they recommend someone, I will take a look at them, but pre-judge that they are going to be very similar to the idiot that recommended them... but I'll give them a look anyway. Not saying that that is a good thing, but it's a quirk of mine; and from seeing how others work, I'd be willing to bet that it's a quirk that many have.
