You have plenty of times to repeatedly get your hopes dashed and your outlook darkened
A small town is like any other organization - by their very nature they are incestuous. So start pressing the flesh. So to speak. Competence actually does win out much of the time, but in order to show that you have to get in the door. So start building your social network, and be prepared to take gigs that you might not want. I view every job (even now) as preparation for my next career.
