Have you ever applied for a job that you really wanted and thought to yourself “if only I could convince the hiring manager that I’m the right person for this job, I’d REALLY show them what I am capable of.”

In other words, it sometimes seems that getting the job – getting your foot in the door – is the hardest part. You know that once you got the job though, you’d be fine!

What can you do to get your foot in the door of a company you are interested to work for especially when you’re having trouble moving forward? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Depending on your financial situation, your level of experience and the nature of the job you are looking for, you could offer to work as an intern.

If the company doesn’t have the budget to hire someone, you might offer your time for free in exchange for them giving you some industry experience that you might parlay into a fulltime job if not at this company, somewhere else. This could be a good option if you are trying to switch industries and move to one you have no experience in.

2. Don’t turn down temporary positions if you have no other job to go to at the time.

How To Avoid A Bad Business Opportunity - Review
I am sure at some point we have all been tempted by 'get rich quick' schemes. You have heard and seen it all before, the tempting schemes that we receive by email/post/newspaper advertisements etc. They promise we will be able to give up work and make ?1000's for just a few minutes work a day on the internet.

Plus, a contract might be a way to get your foot in the door and put yourself in the running for a fulltime job with the company.
