Getting part-time work as a student

[Inazuma]

Hey everyone,
I recently moved into my new accommodation in Ormskirk and have noticed there are quite a few design firms around town. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gr...s=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a

I'm a student and haven't worked in a physical design agency before, but have worked for an online business for the past three years (could almost be considered freelancing) and been designing graphics and websites for seven years.

I'm wondering if I stand much chance in getting some part time work in these local firms? And if I do apply, what things could I do to improve my chances?

Cheers for the input.

When I go to apply, should I go straight to their building and see what happens or do you think I should try to arrange a meeting on phone?
