Contact Your Competitors
Especially if you have just graduated from college, it’s important for you to contact your local competitors. This can give you an idea of what it will take for you to succeed in your field. Once you tell them that you are a recent graduate, they will most likely be happy to help you. Let them know that you are looking for work but don’t ask them if they have a position available. You might want to find out if they belong to a community of writers, because this might help break the ice. Although it might be an uncomfortable phone call, it might provide you with an opportunity.
