@Pawlicker @rlier23 Networking, having people hook you up. Charm everyone you meet, be the guy they think "man I wish he worked here, it'd be a lot more enjoyable". Exploit each and every opportunity when someone sticks their neck out for you, your actions reflect directly on them.
Sometimes if you look to get hired the old fashioned way it's doable - find small biz owned by white boomers, find a way to meet them or present yourself, and do what you can to make them see you as a hard working, no-job-too-small, enthusiasticly hard working guy. They have a hard time finding worthwhile employees and most finding apparatuses suck ass so they're actually quite pleased to find "one of the good millennials" (everyone under 50 is a millennial now)
Nepotism is the gold standard though, and don't be too quick to jump into startups thinking they're surefire. Way too many want years of free work, they'll pretend you're crazy for wanting actual reliable pay as if every startup is worth millions in stock....then they fail and fold, all the assets taken up by a skinwalker as they cut you out
