There are plenty of jobs out there!

1. If you have never worked before, let people know that you are looking for work. Someone in your circle of friends and family may just know someone who knows someone who has a job for you. This is the best chance of getting a job actually.

2. Register at job search sites. Search on search engines for job posts sites, and register with them.

3. Have a updated CV ready. So that when someone asks for it, you would already have one on hand.

4. If you are working already, ask for a transfer within the organization. Or you could let your suppliers/buyers know that you're looking for new work. Some companies are sensitive to their employees looking for work, so try not to use company time and resources for your job search.

5. Look at the newspapers.

6. If you know of a place that you would like to work in, just email them! You might never know - they may just have a job that is waiting, and might be impressed with your initiative!

7. Go to a job agency and register with them. Some companies farm out the work to job agencies and they usually have the latest jobs available. But don't let that be your only source of work.

If you do not know *exactly* what to do for work, don't despair, just keep working, gaining experience and there will be a right job somewhere!
