so effort has been minimal at all turns. with the two restaurants, I didn't know the owners, so I went hard to make sure I made it past cut day, but that was just performance, nothing to do with applying.

but yea, 85% of my jobs friends have been my co-workers, managers, etc., so "applying" through my first 27 years hasn't amounted to much more than "hey I'll do that."
