1) Get a developer's kit from the company / for your computer
2) Make something really good.
3) GIVE it to someone in the company, get to know this person very well
4) Persuade this person to get you a job there.

-or-

1) Marry the daughter of the boss of the company you would like to get into.
   If she is already married, tough.
