????完成這些步驟后，你就得到了一份目標名單。下一步是如何獲得熱情引薦。這比你想象得容易。商務社交網(wǎng)站LinkedIn是一個非常強大的工具，校友數(shù)據(jù)庫也一樣。風投往往也樂于將你的簡歷和背景信息告知他們的投資組合公司——畢竟，給這些公司介紹優(yōu)秀人才可是在給他們幫忙。

????總體上，初創(chuàng)社區(qū)并不吝惜時間，擁有強大的“善善相遞”文化。只要有一份堅持，花上一些時間，你幾乎可以找到任何人。事實上，我建議你將目標放高一點。用上述步驟縮小搜索范圍，然后列出10個你最想當面約談30分鐘的人。然后，采用一切可能的辦法接近這10個人(不要跟蹤尾隨，不要做一個討厭鬼！)。這些會面就算不能幫你找到合適的工作，也會有助于你建立寶貴的人脈。

????簡言之，要有規(guī)劃，要專注，要堅持。樹立高目標，尋求與業(yè)內(nèi)重要人物謀面洽談，選擇一家有望勝出的企業(yè)。這樣做不一定會有結(jié)果，但至少能增加一點點勝算。

????Once this heuristic is complete, you now have your target list. The next step is to get warm introductions to the target. This is easier than you would think. LinkedIn is an incredibly powerful tool, as are the various alumni databases. VCs are often happy to pass along your resume and background to their portfolio companies - after all, they are doing them a favor by sending them highly qualified talent.

????In general, the startup community is so incredibly generous with its time and has such a strong "pay it forward" culture, that with tenacity and time, you can get to almost anyone. In fact, I recommended you aim high. Use this heuristic to narrow down your search and then list out the 10 people that would be your absolute top choices to sit down for 30 minutes with face to face. Then, go after those 10 people in any way you can (without stalking them or being a nudge!). These networking meetings will help you establish valuable relationships, even if the job fit isn't there.

????In short, be organized, focused and tenacious. Aim high, seek out the incremental networking meetings and pick yourself out a winner. Things may not work out, but at least you're putting yourself in a position for a little positive serendipity.
