companies to work for tend to rely heavily (up to 40%) on employee
referrals.<SUP class="reference" id="_ref-fortune_0"><A title="" href="#_note-fortune">[1]</A></SUP> Make a list of all of your
friends, relatives, and acquaintances. Call each one and ask them
if they know of any openings that they could recommend you for.
Don't be too humble or apologetic; tell them what you've been
looking for, but let them know that you're flexible and that if
they have any suggestions, you're open to them. This is not the
time to be picky about jobs; a connection can often get your foot
in the door, and you can negotiate pay or switch positions later,
once you've gained experience and established your reputation.</LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Job"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><B><A title="Volunteer" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Volunteer">Volunteer</A>.</B></LI></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-a-Job"><A title="Develop Your Personal Elevator Pitch" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Develop-Your-Personal-Elevator-Pitch">Develop your personal
