Jobs = Its who you know, not what you know

I've been thinking, when looking for a job, employers look at you and think to themselves, "oh look, its another one" and write you off before the interview anyway. so why try? if you know someone who has a job, and these days its rare, put in an app and ask them to put in a good word for you, because i don't care if you have a masters in Computer Science, you aren't getting into a related job unless you have had field time. That or you know someone in that job field. Now lets look at the math shall we?

if you have no field expertise, you cant get into job A which is a job related to your skills. but you cant get field expertise if you have no job. so now theres only two things left. get someone you know in that area of work, or suck cock. which is it?

  2. Oh my god, man, you are DEAD ON! I've been trying to find a job at a music store, but it's always filled with people who have been friends and working with each other for years. It's the same thing when you try to play shows - they won't take you on, unless you got a friend who knows them.
