Turn Your Knowledge into Earnings.
I am currently seeking paid/unpaid work. I lack the entry requirements for most posted positions and am actively bulking up my CV with relevant qualifications.
To gain relevant experience I have been cold calling and cold emailing companies. About one email every quarter and have had genuine reason to do so. Many of these are to the MDs of small, private firms or senior staff members who have the power to say yes or no - not the HR department.
Is there a sign that I should stop doing this or a limit? There is a fine line between being persistent and being annoying and I don't want to cross that line. For example, if there is no response from them I take them off my list.
If I have had no luck with firms this year, would it be wise to continue contacting them in the new year? I am scared of out of sight out of mind.

Your approach to job searching is not going to give you the results you desire. There are many reasons why, but I'll list a few obvious ones
Sometimes we read information about how to land a job. A lot of it can work in specific situations, but most of the jobs are acquired by a pretty predictable path. That path is laid out in the "What Color is Your Parachute" book, and you need to read it with an eye for the approaches with the highest success rates.
Now, if you have tried the most common approaches, with little to no success; you need to ask yourself "why?"
In some ways, you're saying you don't have the entry requirements. In other ways, you're saying you are "building up experience" by contacting people looking for jobs. That's not they experience they need. They need experience on the job, not experience looking for the job.
Indeed, your failure to land a job is more indicative of not having experience looking for a job, and that's why I'll again ask you to read "What Color is my Parachute" to educate yourself on effective job hunting techniques, so you don't learn the hard way (like having another year of no progress signal that your approach isn't working).
