how do you get work experience?

Hi Guys How easy is it to get work experience in a Dublin firm on a short-term basis (unpaid)? I suppose instead of using the word easy I mean how do you go about it? I've tried without success to send out CVs and coverletters via email with little or no response. I was too late to apply to the vac scheme summer placements…

Hi Guys

How easy is it to get work experience in a Dublin firm on a short-term basis (unpaid)? I suppose instead of using the word easy I mean how do you go about it? I've tried without success to send out CVs and coverletters via email with little or no response. I was too late to apply to the vac scheme summer placements at the likes of the bigger firms. Any advice will be much appreciated, thanks! At this point I suppose I should mention that I have no contacts. I know theres a credit crunch but I'm just looking for something unpaid....Its not for want of office experience as I have almost two years in a non-legal environment at this stage..
