Never talk abt sponsorship.........don't apply thru webpages like careerbuilder or monster.com; it's a waste of time.......at least it was for me..........look for local professional organizations or groups that has website with career opportunities if u r looking locally or in the location of your choice............go to career fairs..........mail managers or hr personally to keep up with your application.........go to the company that interests you and apply through their websites.

most of the time, it's just apply, wait and watch............the first knock u get, grab it.........don't wait for better opportunity.
