Don't be so hopeless. If you have no connections with the power echelons or no money to pay for the posts then your only available option is to work hard. Eventually your hard-work and perseverance will pay off.

P.S: When you get selected then never forget your sufferings and try your utmost to preserve and promote merit.

God Bless.
