So it is time to put down your pride and shyness. Go send a "Hi how are you?" message to your friends who are working somewhere now. Ask them out for a coffee chat and get their help to pass your resume internally to the HR. Almost 90% of the time, internal referral will get you an interview, which you can then speak to the hiring manager to showcase what you have.

Good one! The power of networking. For me, networking didn't help much unfortunately. What really helped was my customised cover letter, master degree, strong reference and swallowing my pride to ask for the job at the interview to pay the bills.
Congrats for landing the job! We did it somehow. Finally after so long I sleep well.
