its a complex situation, no doubt your resume' and cover letter are the most important thing but alot depends on the recruiting officers and the overall professionalism of the company you are applying to.
The next thing is how confident you are when they try to nail you down in the interviews, believe me in certain jobs the interviews and your personaility matter more than anything, even more than your academics.
Sifaarish in our beloved country is meant to be for ppl lacking in the three prime factors, your resume', cover letter and cofidence (interviews).
aab imagine a scenrio where ur competing for a job & where saafirsh does work (due to messed up ethics of the company), u dont hav any backing up of referneces and there is this person XYZ who has a safaraish, ALONG with the same academic credentials as you do.... guess who is going to be selected, of course XYZ.
This is why i said the game is quite comples, if you dont have the sifarish and have the academic credentials, then very soon you will be selected, ( InshALLAH P )and if you dont have any of the two, then keep on the hard work of finding ways to get employed, bass never give up and you will eventually have it, as hard work does pay off well, though in the long run....it worked in my case at least !
