Who is most likely to provide most useful information about employment opportunities:

A) friends
B) acquaintances
C) close family members
D) one's boss
E) fellow workers

Acquaintances are often people we have met but are not close with, such as former classmates or colleagues. They have a wider network than our close family members or immediate coworkers, and may have information about job openings that we are not aware of. Friends, close family members, bosses, and fellow workers may also provide valuable information, but acquaintances are the most likely to offer unique leads.
