For example, my husband got me a job as an English teacher at a local international school. Usually, the main requirements are: 1. At least a bachelor’s degree in English (or something similar/related). 2. Be a native English speaker. 3. Have a bit of experience teaching English. Didn’t have any, but my husband put in a word for me and I got hired. Was this nepotism or networking?
Nepotism is usually restricted to familial relations by definition, but networking can work in a very similar way sometimes. I.e. lead to unjustified hiring decisions. I guess the more relevant questions are: was it fair and are you qualified to do the job in practice? Instead of whether it technically falls under nepotism.
