Just go do some research on the companies you work for, find out who has the power to hire you, find out their contacts and contact them directly re your situation and your intent to work for them. Not that hard! No you aren’t stuck.

That's the major problem I run into though - I don't know anyone in the field (other than old colleagues at my old job), so no one to network with. Searching for the jobs myself is only yielding me limited results. I would tell my story to anyone willing to hear it. I've gone to multiple recruiting and temp agencies (to no avail) for those sorts of jobs. I'm kind of stuck. Thanks Nicole, I appreciate the response.

Ask if they know which firms are hiring and to forward you contacts! I think some good jobs one wants aren't found online. You need to speak to as many people as you can!
