Every job I've ever been hired for has been the result of knowing someone who helped me get that job. That's how I got my jobs at Dixie College Concessions and at Anderson Lumber in high school, but it didn't end then. I got my job at Disney based on who I knew and who knew me. I figure there are a lot of people who could do any job, and employers are most likely to hire the people they expect to like and trust. The best way to prove that you're likable and trustworthy is to have a reputation with people already at the company you're applying to. So the best thing you can do to get noticed is to have lots of friends. I've also been noticed when I entered dance contests... I won a hat in a dance contest once. Eveyone noticed that. And every now and then (if ever), I get noticed at the very bottom of Josh's blog's long list of links. The best way to get noticed is to know people.
