People are THE way to get a job. If you’re willing to put yourself out there – write some kind emails and make a few calls – you’ll come up with options you hadn’t considered. People are usually very willing to have an informational call. Be honest, state your intentions but don’t put any pressure.

Hi Eric,
My name is Deron Hayes, and I just graduated from Seattle Central’s graphic design program. You came and gave a great talk at one of Erik Fadiman’s classes, and I would be very grateful if you would take a look at my website and see if I have the skills your company looks for. I would also appreciate any feedback you can give me. My resume and a pdf portfolio are available for download on my website.
Thank you so much for your time!
Sincerely,
Deron Hayes
