>My feeling is that you can't just throw up your hands and blame connections you have to try different things. Not disagreeing that connections are the way to most easily get a position, but there's plenty of other ways and you have to try them all. When I was out of work I would just ask the question to myself, "have I done everything I can do to get a job today". I eventually got a crappy job at a much lower salary, but that gave me the time to keep looking for the job I wanted. I got the first job off of a company website and the second from a recruiter.
