Hate to say it but I would start attending political fundraiser and donate a little bit of money and time to canidates and help out on campaigns because they don't have to pick you because of you score they can pick anybody on the top 3. It's a small sacrifice for a lifetime job that will probably be making 60-70 grand a year. If it were me i would be finding out who the key players are and start making some calls. Just my opinion.
