How to get type rated.

Hey!

Well, the question is rather obvious I guess - How can I get type rated?

I have spoken to numerous pilots about this, and I still don't quite understand the concept. I mean, if I was trained in a twin engined light aircraft to get my CPL, then when I get enough hours I want to make the transition to an airliner - How do I do this independantly? I know how it can be done if you are on a sponsorship scheme with an airline.

Also, if I was type rated to fly a Boeing 737 with Easyjet, and I was offered a contract with say, Iberia to fly MD80s - How would I get the type rating??

Hope I've made myself clear enough
