• Internal Campaigning - Working part-time, interning, or volunteering is one way to 'get your foot in the door.' Employers may prefer to hire you for a full-time position once you've proven your worth at the part-time level.
• Direct Contact - You may choose to market yourself to an organization whether openings exist or not. This is done by sending your resume and cover letter directly to the company. Keep in mind that it may take 100 mailings to generate 5 interviews.
