The first step in this process is compiling a list of all companies that you might be interested in working for -- and don't worry if the list is a long one. In fact, it is better to have a longer list than a shorter one since your odds increase as your list gets longer. You could gather this list of companies by focusing on a specific geographic area, a specific industry, a ranking of the best companies to work for, or any other method.

Great point list Mr. Golf

That is what I have been doing for the last few weeks, I don't always get a person willing to talk, but I am a great negotiator so I interview them...take notes and if I get a positive result I send them my resume, or try and request to drop it off at their office...
