Hello,

Jobhunting? 

Do remember to check websites yourselves too as this doesnt contain everything (you'd be scrolling through for weeks if I included everything!) so enter your postcode to look at jobs local to you.

Some websites we use for job hunting are: www.indeed.co.uk , www.jobsearchdirect.gov.uk , www.jobstoday.co.uk, www.bedfordjobshub.co.uk, http://bedsbucks.jobsnow.co.uk/jobs/united-kingdom/bedfordshire/jobs-bedford 

www.youthoria.org  - jobs and training for young people in Cambridgeshire (train to St Neots & Huntingdon from Sandy & Biggleswade)

www.hertsjobs16to19.org  - jobs and training for young people in Hertfordshire - Stevenage, Letchworth Garden City

 

Want to combine a qualification and a job?  Think about apprenticeships!

www.apprenticeships.org.uk  - the only place you need to look for apprenticeships as ALL apprenticeships HAVE to appear on this national website.  You will need to register, but its quick and easy and you can then search according to what youre looking for, and where you can get to. 

Remember, an apprenticeship IS a job - so great to have a salary AND a qualification AND a job at the end of it!  Although lots of people think the pay is bad; this is not always true - average pay is approx £100 a week!

And, dont forget, volunteering is a great way to boost your CV and get the skills and experience that employers are looking for.... even if its just for a few hours. Have a look at http://www.voluntaryworks.org.uk/volunteeringbedford/ for more information, and let me know if you want to find out more about this...

 

Remember, jobhunting is not easy, and opportunities are not particularly easy to find in this current job market.  Do let me know if you want help with your application forms, CV etc - or just want a bit of advice.  We're here to help!

 

Take care,
