Have any of you submitted cover letters / resumes to companies who didn't have any job openings listed? Have you ever success with that?

I did.
This was back in 2004, so I don't know how things might be now.
I was a Sophomore in college, & just came back home from college far away to go back to the Community College. I applied at temp agencies, places with Help Wanted signs, & got nothing.
My friend worked at JC Penney, & told me to try there. I thought NO WAY! They just let go of their Holiday help! January is SLOW in retail!
But I didn't have much to lose. I went in the next day, went to the office, asked for the hiring lady & told her I was friends with "A". She had me apply.
& I got hired the next day. I worked there 4 years.
Yes. I have had enormous success persuading other companies to hire my company by sending out unsolicited proposals.
Even before I had a company, I found work this way- I decided what company I wanted to work for, and phoned the owner first thing in the morning. I introduced myself and launched into my speech, he interrupted me and said "I know who you are; you can start Monday (clearly it helped to have an excellent reputation in the industry).
