^^ That was always my problem- thinking that if I knew someone who knew someone in a company and they got my resume that way, I got in for an interview, and then got hired, I used to think that I was using an advantage that wasn't totally ethical. But then I realized that knowing someone just got me to the interview stage. It was all me from there!!
OP, I know you don't have work experience yet, but what about signing up for LinkedIn.com? Some people think it's a joke, other people use it. You can join your sorority's alum group, your college's alum group, and search for people you know that maybe you went to high school with or knew from college. You'd be surprised to find people you know who are in the field you're interested in, and you could always shoot them an email and see where things go from there. It's just another avenue I'm throwing out there.
