Guess your going to have to show some initiative and be prepared to use your library resources to find companies with the profile you seek.

Then get on the phone, write letters and follow it up with a personal visit.

What can you offer them and do you expect to be paid, it takes time to build up trust and your chances of doing anything creative are probably quite remote.

At a guess you'd have to be an extremely highly motivated user of a photocopier and happy to do all the jobs no-one else wants to do - filing. Its a foot in the door though, so be bold and not put off by rejection.

I got my first job as an architect straight out of Uni by walking around banging on doors.
I spent my last holiday (Easter) back home, yellow pages in one hand, CV and portfolio in the other knocking on every architects door in the yellow pages introducing my self for work for summer when college finished.
Ended up getting a very nice job which i kept for over 2 years in the end.
So my advice is try the same.
Just go round in person to every likely compny you can physically get to and knock on their doors.

Good luck
