Thats exactly what I was going to say--its not what you know, its who you know. This doesnt mean that knowing someone will automatically get you a job, but it sure as hell will get your foot in the door to get a serious interview. Think about it--if you are running a business, are you more likely to offer an interview and/or job to some random kid that sends you his resume, or to someone that you either know personally or have heard good recommedations about from those you know and trust?
