You shut your mouth, everybody loved him.
Also: Have you tried writing a cover letter? I know it sounds stupid---but try doing one for an industry you WANT to work in. Write out why you want to, what you could bring to a company working in it, and how much dick you are willing to suck to get promoted up to the job you actually want. Then write two more, for two other industries you could tolerate, but don't actually want to do. Fake the shit out of those.
THEN, find an opening. Cut the company from the letter--and paste your new employer. Cut the position and repeat. Adjust the wording to fit the job description they gave you, and pray.
Just be persistent, man. Make them know you want it.
