Looking for work is hard, it can be like a full time job. You have to put the hours in to get the job. However the easiest way to get a job is to get help from friends. Talk to people, they will know if their place has a job opening and they know you, so a quiet recommendation may be all that is needed. Employers often like this because it means that they don't have to pay advertising costs or endure countless boring interviews where they can't tell the difference between candidates as they all seem to have the same talents.
Go out and meet your friends and acquaintances, tell them you need a job and what you are good at. You never know what might come through the door. My eldest was working at a Pizza restaurant and her little sister wanted a part time job, aged 16 with no qualifications. The manager said he would try her cos her sister was so good, and she got the job, working there for 3 years-.
Friends can tell you when adverts are being published, they can give you the inside information on what the company is looking for- use this information
I went to loads of Job Agencies yesterday, most of them didn't want to know, but in one I knew the receptionist, you can bet that my resume was seen by a consultant in preference over others- that is how it works. So get out there, meet people and talk- maybe you will be able to talk yourself into a new job!
