How did you hear about this job opening?

Interviewers want to hear how you heard about the position for several reasons. Companies spend a lot of money advertising their job openings, and they want to see what methods attract the most candidates. The other reason is that some companies have a referral program to pay their employees a referral fee when they recommend a quality candidate. Describe how you heard about the job opening, and give the employee's name if referred by someone in the company.
