No. I am not a recruiter in my company- they have won a lot of contracts and in looking at our open job postings, they are on a big hiring push. Thousands per Quarter. Sometimes it really is who you know who can get you in the door. It's all up to the person being interviewed once they do get a call, but sometimes it's just nice to be introduced to an opportunity.

I just wanted to share that I FINALLY got a job! I posted a very angry/frustrated post a few months ago about my job search and I'm so glad all the work finally paid off. I graduated in May and everything was complicated by the fact that I ended up moving after graduation to an area of the country where I really had no contacts or people to network with. The job I just accepted is great, though - just the kind of thing I was looking for at the place I most wanted to work in my new city. I didn't have any connections there so networking didn't really help me, but the support I got from everyone in my last job (both in terms of references and "you can do it!" speeches) was so important over the last 6+ months. I hope this isn't salt in the wound of anybody still searching, I'm just so excited that after a really long, emotional job search it finally worked out for one Gen Y-er!
