Sometimes it is about connections. If you know someone who knows someone else - the old saying, “sometimes its not necessarily what ya know, but who ya know.” People like to get to know who they are hiring or to see they are enthusiastic about the job somehow. In some positions I have started at the bottom, even volunteered my services and worked my way into a full time job position.
