I still have hope alive, even though I've never even been called back for an interview!Currently reading: Network Warrior, Unix Network Programming by Richard Stevens

Impress someone.
A Professor at your University/College/School may have industry contacts and recommend his superstart students for jobs while the rest of the class fights for the scraps in the school placement office.
A friend or neighbor may hear of an opening -- and if you've impressed them with your work ethic, drive, and skills fixing their computer they may put in a word for you where they work.
Your resume may get you the call for a phone screening, or even an interview, but it's up to you to impress your interviewers with your knowledge and skills -- and close the deal with your people skills.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set!
