One more thing to add. Make sure you change your resume to claim that you are a LOCAL of whatever city you're applying to. The porks are a picky lot and generally have a "locals only" policy. I faced a good amount of discrimination (and still do) because I am stuck in a rural town in Ohio and apparently rich people can't understand "why anyone would choose to live there, that's weird!" (Not like I have a choice, some of us are poor.)
I hate using the term and I hate that it's a thing, but there is no shame in embracing any nepotism you can get your hands on. The rich have way more class solidarity than the working class and will gladly hire a fellow nepo baby by "networking", but still lie that you're a master at whatever you're applying to.
