Directly contacting employers is one of the most successful means of job hunting.

	First, through your library and Internet research develop a list of potential employers in your desired career field.
	Then look to those employer web sites for lists of job openings.
	Look for information on how to apply for a position or whom to contact.
	Even if no open positions are posted, do not hesitate to contact the employer and the relevant department.
	Set up an interview with someone working in the same area in which you wish to work.
	Ask them how they got started, what they like and dislike about the work, what type of qualifications are necessary for the job, and what type of personality succeeds in that position.
	Even if they don’t have a position available, they may be able to put you in contact with other people who might hire you, and they can keep you in mind if a position opens up.
	Make sure to send them your résumé and a cover letter. If you are able to obtain an interview, be sure to send a thank-you note.
