text: I was like that for almost 2 years. The only piece of advice I can give is this:  Don´t underestimate connections. Ask anyone you now. Even if you have to start low, take it, and build up from there. If you don´t have connections, then try to make them. It is easier once you hace any kind of job. If you have little or no social skills, then get yourself a friend that does and ask your friend to help you or even go with you.  Also, very important: Change your mental state. Develop a positive attitude.  Good luck!
