This is for every man and every woman who wants to maximize their potential of getting a job.
First of all is the CV(curriculum vitae)
1) Type CV template into Google and create a similar simple cv on a word document.
2) Once you have a simple, one page, with no unnecessary information CV you are ready. Show it to your friends and family for their advise and tailor it to the job your looking for.

3) Register with all online job searching groups e.g. monster. Upload your Cv and register.
4) Use these for a general search.
5) Use the back of newspapers to find local jobs in your area.
6) Local job centers
7) Be prepared to send out lots of letter to companies which you would like to work in but have no vacancies. Prepare a letter template for this and send to as many companies as you wish.
8) Be prepared and if need be to do a weeks free work experience if one job requires you need experience.(do this in another firm, BUT PICK A GOOD ONE)
9) Companies such as local newspapers and Betterware and Avon have reps in most towns and always are looking for more.
10) virgin party reps are also an opportunity these do arranged parties and you get commission.

11) ask around for friends in their work places and also if they have any one they could ask. You may find someone knows a manager of a company.

Local shops like the post office or local bars often don't advertise, just put notices in windows. Walk through your town and look in shops. keep active and if need be email companies, keep in contact with your e-mailer and email regularly to see if they have opening or they know where else to ask. It can be about who you know and not what you know.
As a last resort, walk in restaurants and ask about if there are any jobs available and even if they don't leave your CV and Number.
Be ready for an interview and invest in a suit for this with a white shirt and simple tie.

good luck in searching and remember for interview techniques email me. Keep yourself looking smart and remember no job is below you. Would you rather be earning or sitting down at home, while the guy who cleans is spending his cash.
