Many people get their jobs through someone they know.

That's the kind of crap that someone without any connections would say to make themselves feel better.
i apologize for not having 2000 connections on LinkedIn.

your claim is spot on...getting a position the old fashion way can feel more rewarding than asking someone under the prospective employer to vouch for you. I'm sure most of us have been on both end of the stick.
