This is useful for any place you're ringing but especially if you're unemployed and really got to save the pennies - use this to find out the usual phone number instead of having to ring the expensive 0870 or 0845 etc numbers

Jobseekers living in Scotland can get support from Skills Development Scotland via their on-line resources, including a downloadable self help book "Positive Steps to Your Future" available here: skillsdevelopmentscotland. co. uk/our-services/pace-redundancy-support This book includes loads of help with CVs, applications, interviews, etc. Their career advice website myworldofwork . co . uk gives a huge amount of similar free help, as do the other UK government sponsored sites. SDS also broker the Individual Learning Account which is a £200 grant towards the cost of some training courses, including ECDL, First Aid, Elementary Food Hygiene, SIA security and others which will improve jobseekers' employability [check the small print tho' as not everyone is eligible and using an ILA will rule you out for some other sources of funding towards training such as Modern Apprenticeship and the Employability Fund which might be a better option for long term unemployed and / or redundant workers - ask your Jobcentreplus Adviser or contact SDS for advice].
Echoing Maat, above, I'd suggest checking out local libraries - ours run regular Job Clubs with free printing, free web access and volunteers able to help with drawing up CVs, mock interviews, etc.
