Tip 10

Keep looking! The week that you don’t look may be the week that a suitable job is advertised.

Jobcentres
Jobcentres have a list of vacancies with local employers. The centres also have ‘touch-screen’ computers to help you find jobs suited to your needs. In addition there is a website (www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk) where you can also do searches for suitable vacancies on their ‘Search for a job’ page (Or click on Job Search at the home page). The search will allow you to say where you want to work, how far you want to travel from that centre and the type of job. You can enter ‘Apprenticeship’ as a key word and that may come up with some Apprenticeships, but it will also include jobs where you to have an Apprenticeship already.

There is also a telephone service called Jobseeker Direct on 0845 606 0234.
