The early bird gets the worm. Okay, I know, it's a cliche, but it happens to fit nicely into this piece, so you'll have to let me have it this time.
Here's a quick piece of advice that may help you be the first to get your foot in the door. Often times, the people who are among the first to respond to a job posting are the ones who get hired.
How many times have you called to inquire about a potential position and gotten the response "I'm sorry, that position has already been filled?" Don't be discouraged, you're not the only one that gets that response.
You may want to try picking up the newspaper and flipping through to the "Legal Notice" section. Did you know that in New York and other states, a Limited Liability Company is required to post a legal notice upon formation of the company?
See who has posted recently and begin your data mining for information. You may be able to find enough information to get in touch with some of the principals. Do they need a bookkeeper, a marketing team, customer service reps? It's quite possible that they need a variety of personnel to get started.
In making these contacts you'll be doing two things. First, you'll be saving the newly formed company some time (and let me tell you from experience, starting a new company doesn't leave you much time for anything,) and second, you're showing a pro-active attitude. These are two things that most people will appreciate.
