Never-Ever-EVER E Mail For A Job

Always phone them. Employers get loads and loads of spec letter/CV's and E Mails. Some get hundreds a week. Most will ignore them all-throw them away, delete them unread, its a waste of time.

Phone. Find out something about the company, the name of a director or someone of that level. Try to get through to speak to them, introduce yourself, do anything you can to make an impact and be remembered. Get an appointment, ring, if you get the secretary from hell, sound patient but professional and say "I am returning his/her calls". Get noticed and be remembered.

Sure, a lot will fob you off. But some will like or remember your unique, cheeky, and unorthodox approach and want to know more about you-then its up to you...
