[quote=Anonymous]Pretty much all of my jobs have been gotten through networking of some sort. Before I had much experience under my belt, I got two jobs through older siblings that worked at large corporations (both jobs were advertised, but the fact that my siblings were tight with the hiring managers got me in for an interview). Everything since then has been through professional contacts - predominantly people outside my own organization who I worked with in some capacity, and who thought highly enough of me to get in touch when opportunities arose. Most of those are things I did not follow up on, but the lead was there. I got my current, and longest lasting, job by responding to a position announcement - but the fact that my resume referenced several people the hiring managers knew well and respected (e.g. my grad adviser) certainly helped.
