This.

Keep updating, networking, and soliciting recs until the phone rings. I know of guys that had over two dozen internal recs that finally got the call.

There are a lot of qualified folks you're competing against. Qualified with a couple of recs is probably above the curve, but that curve is still 10-12k deep.
