I thought I might ask here since I've really been searching all over for some type of insight. I feel like applying through the online job boards and websites aren't helping much, but I'm really wondering how you get an "in" at these companies. I've really been trying for the past 2-3 years, while working jobs that I'm really not crazy about.

I don't mind sending my resume out, but after sending out a resume for every advertising job that comes up and coming up empty, it becomes very disheartening.

Does anyone have any advice? Should I say forget Chicago and look in another city? Should I say quit the industry altogether and just settle for something that is just going to pay the bills?
