visit their offices and drop your resume. and wait.

you can also email your resume at their corporate websites. then wait some more. if they have openings, they will call you if you are qualified.

I used to round various newspaper companies in my attempt to land a writing job. That was 3 years ago and I was a new grad then. It was hard kasi there's a dearth of writing opportunities here in the Philippines. I was really hell-bent to get a writing job and I went to Manila Bulletin office to the small-time newspaper publishing company, but my efforts provide futile. I am now working for a call center. But the good thing back then I used to befriends some of the applicants na nakakasabay ko and we exchanged numbers. I had been referred by some of them to their former employers and I was able to get some freelance gigs. So I suggest na you also do some networking, because you can get some assignments doing that. Goodluck
