I’m not sure if it’s the same where you live, but I found using the phone much more effective than sending applications all over the place. I first sent the application, then called. A good personal first impression, if you manage to squeeze it in, seems to beat a well written application any time.
Few of the people were absolute dicks when I called them and told me just send the application, but then I figured I probably didn’t want to work for them anyway. So don’t give up if that happens.

I probably need to do some exposure therapy with phone calls, but it’s definitely worthwhile doing that.
