What is the best way to apply for IT jobs?
What about networking and referrals? Is that important?
Yes, networking and referrals can be important in the IT industry. Attend local IT events and conferences to meet people in the industry, and consider joining a professional organization like the Association for Computing Machinery. If you know someone who works at a company you are interested in, ask them to refer you. Referrals can often give you an advantage over other candidates.
