About three years ago I finally discovered my calling in life: to design and build firearms. Ever since then, I've been trying to get my foot in the door every chance I get – almost any position would do to start – but so far I've been unsuccessful, so I'm reaching out here for ideas.
I've learned that the gun industry – like the I.T. industry I'm currently in – is woven from personal relationships, not resumes and LinkedIn profiles. I've connected with a few industry people by chance, and followed-up, but nothing has come of these. If I could only make enough of these connections, I know that sooner or later one would "click", but I'm not sure how to go about making that happen.
So, I'm reaching out to any and all of you for ideas or leads: how would you get your foot in the door? I appreciate, sincerely, you taking the time to respond.
