[QUOTE="mblgjr, post: 13106159, member: 13336"] ^ pretty good. The mentor suggestion falls under "It's not what you know, it's who you know" rule. That key alone can open many doors that will otherwise not be available to you. Sooo many times I've seen guys get hired because they had just enough of a personal connection with someone in a hiring position of a company. Sometimes this plays between companies too. Example: You work for Company A. You're friends with Boss @ company B. Boss B doesn't have a need to hire you, but strongly suggests you to his friend @ Company C that he needs to hire his buddy from A. In which, C simply interviewed A over the phone, never met in person until AFTER they hired him and sent him for further training/licensing. This scenario actually happened. They hired him, sent him for $50k in training, upped his yearly salary 25%+ and paid to move him. So make acquaintances where you can. Not saying be a brown nose, but it helps when the higher-ups "know" who you are and you're not just a name/number/face that stumbles into the office reporting for lab rat duties. Go BE somebody. Just be careful not to be "that guy" chumming it everywhere with everyone. It's a balance. [/QUOTE]
