welcome to my life. i've been out of school since may and am still looking.
the cold emailing does work. i've gotten two offers from cold emailing, though i had to turn both down. they weren't offering enough money for me to move to/live in LA. i just send my cover letter and resume together in the email. it's worth a shot, the only thing you have to lose is the time it takes to send the email.
i've also had a couple of people i've emailed pass along my resume to friends they know in the industry who possibly have a position to fill.
on a side note, if anyone knows of someone looking for an assistant account executive type position in a pr firm or corporate communications department in texas, or colorado, let me know.
