And with strange aeons, even death may eat a burrito with goons.

I'm working my way through this thread, but it's already expanding pretty fast so apologies if this has already been covered.

I'm currently trying to find any position that I'm qualified for with a complete focus on a short list of companies (2 or 3). Right now I'm most focused on getting in to a company in California even though I live in Pennsylvania. I have been sending link requests to a few people in the company in departments I would qualify to work in and then starting a dialogue abut the company. Does this sound like a good strategy? What can improve my chances at getting them to take a cross-country candidate more seriously? Finally, the ceo of the company is on linkedin in a group I am a member of. Should I go for it and try to connect with him on the basis of my enthusiastic desire to work in his company? The company is high tech and multinational, but not employee heavy and the ceo started the company from scratch in the 80s. Also, I'll be requesting to join stairmasters today.
