Looking for Work
Starting to look for a job
When you start to look for work you may have had been unemployed
for a while or perhaps had time off to have children. You might
need to learn some new skills to get work, or you might need
to feel more confident before you start.
Have a look in our Finding
Training section if you think you need more skills or qualifications,
and of course there is a range of local help available when you
start to look for work.
We hope this information will be useful to local people but please
contact us here if you or your organisation would like us to add
anything to this part of the site - we'd be delighted to hear from
you.

The Learning Place

Job Clubs
Many local organisations like Pennywell
Community Business have Job Clubs. Job Clubs normally provide free
help and advice for those looking for work. This includes job
vacancy information, access to newspapers and the internet, advice
on job seeking skills like CV writing and and they often pay postage
for
posting job applications. |
Where Jobs are Advertised
This section of the site contains some of the main local and City
wide places where jobs are advertised. You should also listen
out on the radio (Sun FM) and keep an eye on shops and tell friends
and relatives what sort of job your looking for; they can often
bring back news of jobs to you that you otherwise might not hear
of.
We hope this information will be useful to local people and local
organisations but please contact us here if you would like us to
add anything to this part of the site - we'd be delighted to hear
from you.
