corporate favors

i'm calling in a "connection" favor for the first time in the corporate world. it's kind of a fun feeling. i feel quite adult-like. here's the schpeal. my aunt works in the supply chain for target, and seems to really enjoy the job, and she says the money is good too. so i figured why not try to get a job there. well, it turns out that by knowing my aunt i can skip some of the red tape. i tried posting my resume to the corporate website, but i wasn't expecting much from that. well, it turns out that diane (that's my aunt) has a friend who is a recruiter for the company, so i'm sending my resume to diane, and she's going to give it to her friend. direct connection. sweet!!!
