Answers:

The way I got into DJing in a tough market (Phoenix) was to show up and talk to the manager and personally hand him a mix tape or cd on the spot.

You really have to have your skills in place and then sell yourself in person- chances are slim that the guys going to like the same music you do and he prolly gets mixed cds all the time.

As with almost all business, it's who you know, and filling out an application just doesn't cut it.

See if you can sub in for the house dj if the house dj is sick or gone.

See if you can play some private parties.

See if you can open for the house dj or work at an afterhours club.

See if you can play on an off night for a $1 cover.

Get your own crew together on myspace or whatever and approach the manager and say you'll have 100 people show up on your opening night, does he want to give you a chance now?

But if you don't have your skills up to snuff you might lose your one chance. Check this site out to make sure you are going to make a good impression:
