I'm not a native or a local and had zero connections. Still got invited to the interview AND phase 3. However, my dream in life is to settle down in Hawaii and I made that clear during the interview. As far as getting hired who knows what would've happened if I would've been able to make it to that last phase... If you're qualified, you never know.
