i have 4 weeks left in this semester and one more semester left until i complete my MBA. I live in the DC Metro area and i am beginning my career search now. my questions are as follows:

1) for those with higher end educations and experience, what are the major strategies you are using/used to secure your current position.

2) How well did networking work for you? did you feel strange about calling someone out of the blue and asking for a job?

3) Anyone with specific advice for MBA's with government defense contracting experience in the DC area, please feel free to chime in.

Thanks!!!
