[QUOTE="AGB2060, post: 228690, member: 43222"] I don't know about top-notch, like I haven't gotten those in particular but let's say I got something adjacent. In all honesty it's all about initiative. Before summer I think I emailed about 50 places across London and my other place I live and in the end only got like three interviews and one acceptance. It's all about showing interest, networking and praying they like you (and you being willing to slave it off for free). I was looking at mid-range companies, because those with 10 employees may be unlikely because they simply don't have resources to train you (even if you worked for free it would likely be more of a burden than positive for them). I also avoided major major companies as those had many hoops to jump through and often wasn't as easy as networking. That left me with companies with 25-250 people. I searched on LinkedIn for companies matching what I was looking for and emailed either HR or a particular partner/director that I could find some niche with. If not, then my email would be general but that's life. [/QUOTE]
