Write a letter of application:

You write a letter stating that you are seeking a position that may arise within the company in the near future.
You attach a copy of your current resume stating that you are available to come to the office for an interview anytime

Phone the employer:

You phone a business and ask to speak to the person who does the hiring of staff stating you are seeking employment.
You have done you homework and know about the company and what sort of positions may be available.
As you speak clearly you explain your reasons for calling with the aim of obtaining a personal interview.

Email the employer:
