Try http://jobs.un.org  \n\nHowever, London isnt known as a UN HQ city, but this doesnt mean there arent UN jobs based here.\n\nAlso try other supra-nationals like UNICEF.

Getting job in UK means\n\nyou have got to show your experience, your attitude and your relevant skills and education.\n\nIt is very common that in UK they use STAR questions\nS-Situation\nT-Task\nA-Action\nR-Result\n\nMeans you can be asked tell us a situation where you faced an angry customer....\n\nnow in this question your answer should follow the STAR ---\nmeans you need to explain the situation, Task , Action you took and result it derived.....\n\nBest of luck mate

Perhaps you're not looking in the right places. If you don't have any experience you might not be picked up by the big places right away, but you can definitely find a job. There are usually marketing jobs out there and well paid ones at that.

Why don't you get a job

I worked a career far less than a year ago. Yes there are a lot of candidates and it can be very overwhelming. The best thing to do is to have a few representatives from the company there to do on the spot interviews. The only candidates that should be getting these interviews are people who "stand out in the crowd." By saying this I mean people whose resumes AND personalities seem like the best fit for the company you are there for. Not just one OR the other.

Because you don't get a job based ONLY on your I.Q...its you as a person, how you are, interact with others....your personality and your qualifications..I mean your I.Q. doesn't automatically make you the best candidate for every job.

Because most people don't know how to look for a job. You have to start with a resume that says what you really want to do not something vague. Example: To find a job as a sales trainee where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Lots of people put down something like I want a position that will afford me personal growth. That goes into the wastebasket. \nAnother mistake people make is to just look at help wanted ads. Only 10% of all jobs are filled through ads. Get out the yellow pages and look up companies that have the job you want. Call up and ask if you can fax over the resume and to who's attention. Follow up in a week with a phone call.

You need to check your grammar I can understand what you want to say.try\n\nI am at my best when working within a team environment, I do my best at all time to ensure that I am a team player and and work very hard at making sure I get on with my work colleagues, I enjoy the challenge of meeting targets given to me but endeavour to make sure it is not to the detriment of the other team members.\n-------.\nI feel that I could bring a cultural exchange to Virgin Mega stores as I am at present studying in London and wish to take this opportunity to experience all that London has to give. I have been told that Virgin Mega stores is a very good company to work for as they ensure their employee's are placed in positions that fit their capabilities and also allow them to grow and learn within the company structure.\n--------\nI enjoy out door pursuits my main interest is jogging as I find this keeps me fit.\n-----------\nI am at present studying English at  Malvern school.

A million possible reasons, way beyond what anyone could answer no line. Maybe your resume is weak. Maybe you're applying to the wrong companies. Maybe you haven't really figured out what you want or how to communicate it in a resume. Maybe you don't present yourself well face to face. Maybe you say the wrong things without even knowing it. Maybe you have a booger hanging from your nose when you interview. \n\nI would check into career counseling places in your area. You could use some help from someone who can work with you. \n\nBUT -- go for the nonprofit ones that have little or no cost. The career counseling and job placement people who want to charge you hundreds of dollars are almost always a nasty rip-off.

That doesnt matter as the bus companies pay for you to train to get your licence.  \n\nContact one of the bus companies like this one - www.londoncentral.com/job_opportunities.htm

I think your job search approach is a little bit skewed. \n\n\nYou may want to consider actually going out and applying for jobs.  Standing on the street corner, while it may be a job, is not a respected profession by the "civilized" members of society.

If you are worried you should talk to your boss or other people you work with, ask them what they think. Are they as worried as you or is it just the fact that you think you've made a mistake? I tried loads of jobs before I found what was right for me, but in the end it gave me lots of experience.  \n\nWhich country do you want to work and live in? You'll find that the government are cutting down on foreign workers in many countries. I know in the U.K people are saying jobs should go to those born and bred in the country. In the end it's not going to matter how hard you work or how willing you are. But I wish you lots of luck and hope you find a job that will make you happy.

YES..It happens everywhere. I agree with you..bunch of sh*tbags. It is sad especially when you are trying so hard to get a job and  you know you are qualified and they just want to say..You have a really good resume. I have to interview several more people first before making my decision but you are qualified. You will be hearing from me soon. Then no phone call.... What really ticks me is you are over qualified for the position.?? HUH?? How can you be over qualified for a position????????????????????????

It is difficult to find employment because the economy is high.  If prices were much lower, there would be jobs. All the jobs are overseas.Tell your clients to try temp agencies where you live. At least they have some money coming in, better then NO MONEY. Register for around 6-7 agencies. I am SURE they have something that they qualify for. Good Luck.
