It takes a lot of work and time. I'd recommend also using sites like Linkedin. Do you have a resume set up online? It's all about networking. Also, make sure that when you post a resume on a job hunting site or when you give it to someone that you put experience before schooling unless you have an impressive degree that is suited for the job.
@solitarius there are different things i would like to do. i speak three languages so something with languages, or within education. i am also into coffee but i am tired of working underpaid jobs you know so if within coffee than maybe a better position. i also have a lot of experience in customer service. well and then there are dream jobs like working at a tattoo place as a shop girl :)
Shit, I didn't see your response by the time I posted mine lol. I've got friends in education and tattooing out here in the bay area, let me know if you wanna talk and I'll reach out to some people.
