JOIN STC now. VOLUNTEER for a committee or something. GET to know
people in the industry. LEARN what they are doing. LISTEN to what they
say. THIS is the most successful technique I know and in conjunction
with all the the suggestions has always worked for me. People who know
and LIKE you are more likely to give you a chance.<snip>
