All I have to say is to :

-NETWORK with people.
-Do your job with PASSION.
-Be GOOD in what you do.

I'm in the IT industry. People say it's not a big world out there which I absolutely agree.

I have good rapport with people I deal with within/outside of my organization. Got a good recommendation due to good working reputation with my vendors.

I have hit the 5k mark at 25.
