Asking friends for a job

Obviously I do have friends that have jobs and in case you been reading my blog I have asked them for an in. But it turns awkward just like scott pilgrim asking wallace wells in the picture from the books. Scott also asked stephen stills and kim pine for jobs(his friends and drummer and singer/guitarist from his band) I need to make connections with older guys that can give me an in. I think I worded that wrong but you know what I mean. I wish getting a job was like in tv shows where a friend knows where their hiring and you go with him and he knows the manager and you get hired on the spot
