[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a key point to remember

If you are a high-achiever, as you say, and you make the right friends.... you can get hired into a better position without any of the credentials listed for the job.

Many highly qualified technical people spend so many years seeking degrees and certificates to prove they can do a job... and along comes an A-type personality that clicks with a senior manager and BAM... they get the job managing and move up the corporate latter quickly.

Make good connections and you can move up. Simple as that.[/quote]

Thats what I'm working on. We have not been in the area too long, but were sort of forced to move here due to family issues.  The people I worked for who would have promoted me left for different positions in different cities, so I kind of lost my direct company connects. I do not have many connects in DC in general, but I am working on my out of state connects to help me down here. So far its been tough sledding, but I'm going to keep pushing.  I also am attending more professional social events. Hard to do with my schedule, but its has to be done.
