Get an introduction to improve your odds

You have your immediate network, so to get started, you should ask them to make your initial introductions.   Those introductions lead to more introductions which will lead to opening doors critical to putting the odds in your favor.

Job search is not always fair.  The best candidate does not always get the job.  In fact, their resume may not even get reviewed.    Why?   They did not get a chance to tell their story.

 So get an introduction to networking contacts to help you get in the door.
