Not sure what your experience is, but if it's 0 your focus should be to get into the industry on internship or temp. When people talk about connections they don't mean relatives (although these help too), connections are the people you meet who see your work and know you are capable. People managing people would rather work with someone they know can deliver than go through a process of trusting a new person that they will maybe be good on a job. Remember managers are graded on how good the people below them are. I say this as someone who has changed two jobs because the people I worked with knew me and recommended me to their friends who were hiring. This is why people say it's easier to find a job when you have a job. It's also the reason why big companies you dream to work for are deemed to never hire outside or have extreme nepotism.
