Iโ€™ve never had to do a job interview. 5 different jobs, all word of mouth.

I would also like to know where people network to find jobs. Haven't had any luck. I just want a help desk role.

A lot of it has been family and college. The college I attended has a research group that allows students to do internships.

The college also runs job fairs every one in a while. Those kinds of things I huge.

Conventions of any kind as well, where you can speak to people in booths, or even any of the other attendees.

I've been to college job fairs and went to conferences. Didn't really help.
