I've already briefly mentioned the importance of networking, but I wanted to go into a little more detail. The hardest part about the job hunt is getting your foot in the door. Then all you have to do is prove you’re not incompetent.

P.S. If you’re incompetent then it’s all pretty hard. Have you thought about the circus? Not like Cirque du Soleil, but an actual circus. You could be like an elephant feeder or something.

Comment by Christine Wu on October 12, 2012 at 10:30am Scott, you are really a clever guy. And I love the humor in your writing...elephant feeder!
Comment by Scott Keenan on January 16, 2012 at 5:31pm Thanks guys. After I graduated I noticed that applying to advertised positions was basically like throwing your resume into a black hole. I attended a few networking events, but found the best way to meet the people in charge of hiring in a small company is to engage with them online.

Comment by Britt Hysen on January 16, 2012 at 2:52pm Great article Scott! I've never been told to get online and use social media to find a job. Normally, we're told that walking in somewhere is the best method, but since everything has transitioned to an online medium, it could only help to become that person who interacts with companies virtually. Thanks for the advice!
