If you're ready to set foot in the door somewhere, you ought try to go to a temp agency. People think that these organizations are taboo and that you will not make much money, but people do get account that you decide to work somewhere or not, and you do so at your salary needs. I hired a couple of times through an agency which made $ per hour with 32-40/per agency. The chance that you have is that you will find employment in different places and meet your future colleagues. If you do not like the environment, you can simply ask the agency to place you elsewhere. When you find a company that suits you best, keep your eyes open for job openings. When employers have vacancies, and they know your work ethic and behavior, you have an advantage over the CV-drops. Good luck and keep trying!
