Mole,. .The most effective way I found to gain employment is not by just writing a letter along with your CV, posting it and then crossing your fingers because it will just get lost in the system. . .You are alot better off giving them a call and ask what the min requirements are and if they can foresee any future vacancies. Be polite and ask them if it would be Ok to post your CV and give them a call from time to time.. .Then in about a fortnight give them another call and see whats new, if possible pay them a visit. You would be suprised how far persistance goes!!. .Note: there will be the ocasional rude operator who will tell you to #$%^ off but that just lets you know who you don't want to work for!. .good luck.
