Just wondering if anybody who might have had some work experience or an internship, or even a career, with a UK label could shed some light on how to get a foot in the door?

I'm a media studies graduate and I've spent a year abroad. Now I'm applying for jobs in a few different industries. I'd love to work in the music industry but I have no experience of it. Something like an internship would be ideal, but it seems almost impossible to find contact details for a lot of the labels. Neither Sony UK nor any of its subsidiaries has an email address on their website for instance. Are positions generally not advertised?

I suppose I just want some advice really...

Probably not suitable for you but from Domino records web site:
