Speaking from experience on the opposite side, I've never networked for my career and have not been unemployed for any long stretch of time.

Mass apply to all relevant positions within distance in the field, tailored 3 versions of a resume and a basic editable cover letter (fucking hate those too but that's another gripe). Get a few bites, investigate the company and salary ranges if possible, be upfront about expectations at the first interview and I'm usually in a job by the 10th or so company.

But I'm in tech (level 1 and 2, Service Desk and Tech Support roles) and have a B.A. in a completely unrelated field, so, your mileage may vary
