One Smart Way To Get An Interview  

Write a thorough report for each business you are interested in working for.  It should be very professional and address the business group’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.  It should also be filled with statistics and other information the hiring manager would likely like to know.  Tailor it to the respective jobs you want, but it should be well researched and look professional.  Think like a big marketing plan, business plan and strategic business report and you will have the right idea.  If you need further help here, I suggest going to the public library and checking out a few books on business plans and these types of reports. 

After the report is completed, you should put it on quality paper and have it bound with an effective, professional cover.  Don't go cheap here.  You want it to really look good so add in graphics and other bells and whistles to make it look top shelf. 

Then, after the report is completed, you should find out the mailing information of the hiring managers and send this information.  To get this information, you will need to make calls and ask who is in charge of what and so on and get this mailing information and send them out.  The report should have your contact information prominently displayed and you should follow-up 3-5 days after you have sent it in and ask what they thought of it.   

Your aim here is to spark an interest and create a job for yourself that bypasses the normal interview process.  This allows you to show off your talents and increase the odds you at least get an interview.  Remember: the more quality interviews you have, the better your chances of success. 

Others have used this method effectively where other methods have failed.  Obviously results will vary; however, this can be a great way for learning other information about the firms in your profession and show off your work performance in a unique way.
