    I mean dont you know someone who knows someone...a lot of part time student type work is found that way.

    or is this a permanent job you are looking for?

    Right I have been into town. 2 places I went had no jobs, got one application and another will take an application to put on file.

    So it is a start at least.

    Well done philly :D

    Just to reiterate what someone else said.. do get a CV done and you can make it available on jobsearch/monster/ etc.. then when employers are looking if your CV is suitable then it will be put forward to them.

    Another thing is just to make loads of copies of your CV and drop it into every company you would like to work for. You're bound to get lucky with something.

    Good on ya for showing some initiative n getting off your (_|_) and trying :T

    It would be a better idea to ring the job centre tomorrow and get an appointment to see an advisor there

    Just go to tell them what kind of work you are looking for and what skills you have. They'll help you find out what is available

    To be honest I don't know. I've only been to one once and that was years ago. I really think it is worth a try, you have nothing to lose.
