Put a smart shirt on, print out some CV's and go into shops and ask. More often than not they will take a copy of your CV and you might get something that way. Just say you are just seeing if they have any vacancies and go from there. Once you have done the first 2 you will be fine at asking.

take the 1st job you get offered. then carry on looking. at least you won't be part of the unemployed then and something may come of the job in teh end

That's good advice as it's better getting an applcation from someone already in a job, however mundane, as they've already shown they are employable.

Even go for unpopular shifts if you have to - put up with the hopefully short term inconvenience. There's a couple of 24hr supermarkets near me - the night shelf stacking job won't be the most sought after so you're far more likely to pick up something there.

Just don't get settled into something you'll eventually hate just because you've suddenly got beer money: use it as a stepping stone.

I found the job center useless I applied for a few jobs most of them where by visiting the shops and looking for a poster in places such as homebase halfords coop etc the super markets are mostly online now.

Job centre told me I would never get a job and to just sign on. Good use of public money that place.

If your looking for part-time, there is no better force than leg power, pop into shops, ask them if they got anything going, leave your details, then go to the next one, and so on, it can be demoralizing but if you put your mind to it, there is ALWAYS a job....

I worked in Beatties for months, came in one Saturday to find myself out of a job, 1hr later, I was working again.
