contacts.. I guess you are calling it networking!!
I didn;t find a decent job after my bachelors due to lack of opportunities in that particular field.. I went back to school for Masters- did a few internships which I got through my professors contacts and such... later I got the job through those internship contacts and the fact that people in the field knew me already helped a lot!!
I switched job concentration within my field and I got the job without any experience whatsoever.. mainly due to references they called because everyone spoke good about me!!
In conclusion- NETWORKING :D
