I've gotten every single position I've had through leads. From friends, from family, from acquaintances, from schoolmates.

In a bit of irony, for most of the positions I've applied for, my list of references was entirely with people already employed by the company.

I'm not a "networker", and I'm naturally shy. I work very hard at overcoming my introversion. But even I have found references, tips, and leads to be the best way to land a position.
