Just mail all the libraries in UK and tell them you're looking for work. Volunteer to help out on a trial basis and see if they keep you on. All the main universities have libraries so mailing them is easy

Have you checked the classified ads in your local newspaper? Don't just look for jobs there. Check to see if there are any employment agencies. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book as well. Call these places when you find them and see if they offer help like working up a resume for you. Go to these places and see if they have a Job Board posted with any available jobs. Make sure you are as clean and neatly dressed as possible when you approach anyone about a job. The better you look the more apt they will be to help you. Talk to the people at these places and ask if they have a program that hires young people with no work experience through government subsidies. Perhaps you know someone who would hire you if they could afford to. If there is a program they qualify for with money to pay part of your wages they could hire you! It's a long shot I know. If you are still in school, talk to a counsellor and see if there are any student jobs you might qualify for through a program that the school is running in their business classes or something. If you attend church, talk to your minister. Talk to a trusted adult friend. Put an ad in the paper yourself asking for work! Go, go, go! You can do this! If you can bring yourself to walk into a business and ask to talk to the manager, tell him/her you are looking for work and ask if they have anything available. They can only say no (not kill you), and they might say yes! Keep on going and keep trying until you land something. Good luck to you!

Practice what you learned.....apply as many places as you can related to your field and someone will call you, try to do voluntary work in the mean while because that looks good on your resume and keep trying to apply. Also your university can tell you the best places to go to apply for your field of interest.

Try the Lions Club in your area or The Department of the Blind.  The Knight's Templar also will help sometimes.  Also, the Workforce Development Force will sometimes help so the person can become employable again.  Many of the universities will help also.  \n\nI hope this helps.

Put an ad in your local newspaper.   That might be the easiest way.  An ad on community bulletin boards in local businesses, the library, post office, etc. might also bring some results.  Go to the employment center - they usually have notice boards with jobs listed.  I hope these thoughts help.

There are always things you can do to volunteer. Nursing homes, schools (children need mentors), neighborhood, local businesses.\n\nThere are always people out there somewhere that need a helping hand of some kind. \n\nIt is really up to you and what you want to do, isn't it?
