I'd suggest walking up to the store, or shop, or factory, or whatever and requesting an application.  Then, ask if you can fill it out while you are there and whether you might be able to talk with someone about it.  If there is not anyone there to discuss the job with, ask for an appointment to come and interview.  Be positive, as if you are just waiting for them to say, "You've got the job."  \n\nI notice my kids tend to sit back waiting for all of their applications to be either accepted or rejected before making a choice about where they will work.  Sometimes, you can lose the opportunity for one position while waiting for an answer on another.  I'd really try not to fall into that trap.  If you receive a positive response, jump on it.  You can always figure out what to do if a more lucrative or inspiring position comes through in a few days, months, etc...

check out\n\n www.craigslist.com.\n\nhttp://www.nannylocators.com/pennsylvania.htm\n\nhttp://www.4nanny.com/agency_directory/pennsylvania.htm\n\n\nfind that job you will love!\nWhatever you believe will happen!\n\n\n\nTips for a job hunt. There is more hiring happening!\n\n� "Forget what's available out there" and go for the job you want the most.\n\n� Change the message on your answering machine: Put the kind of work you're looking for in your greeting. "Hi this is Heather. I'm busy right now looking for a job in the finance department at a startup company. I recently saw a candidate wearing a t-shirt with a brief summary of their skills. Now that is marketing yourself!\n\n� Write the phrase "Pay no attention to whether there is an opening (vacancy)" on a piece of paper, paste it on your bathroom mirror and memorize it and repeat it to yourself every morning. It will speed up your job search and you'll keep a positive outlook. Use the web and library (ask the reference librarian) to get ideas on companies you should target.\n\n� Concentrate the majority of your search on companies with fewer than 100 employees. Just because the larger firms are having layoffs doesn't mean the smaller companies aren't hiring. The recovery is already underway at smaller companies.\n\n� Get out of the house. Knock on doors. Do research online or at the library about the places you'd like to work. Then stop in and ask if they are hiring anyone with your skills. Your physical presence will make an impression on the hiring authority. Or tell them "I already e-mailed my resume and\nI would like to put a face with the resume I sent (have a hard copy in your hand). Tell the receptionist that you need her help. At one company where I worked an applicant showed up in a bunny suit, skip that bunny suit idea.\n\n� Be willing to look at different kinds of jobs: full-time, part-time, short term contracts, temporary jobs etc. Consider these jobs as a bridge.\n\n� Join a job seeking support group to get you going and to sustain your momentum. This is so crucial. You are not alone out there. Don't miss an opportunity to network. My hairstylist and Doctor have referred many great candidates to me. I heard about someone who told their Doctor they needed work, they had a job the next day. Join your alumni! Network at your church. Keep seeking new ways to market yourself.\n\n� Make a simple business card with the job you are looking for along with your contact info and e-mail address. The office supply stores sell the business cards stock so you can print them at home and save a bundle. I added a postage stamp sized photo to my business card. I saw a minature resume on one side of biz card.\n\n� Don't be wearied by rejection. The more noes you get out of the way, the closer you are to a yes.\n\n� Dont' just e-mail your resume. Try Faxing and snail ( U.S.) mailing your resume & cover letter. Companies are overwhelmed by e-mailed resumes. I know someone who got an interview and job at Kaiser by faxing her resume, her e-mailed resume didn't get noticed because of the volume of resumes they receive. If a company requests no faxed resumes honor their request and snail ( U.S.) mail it instead. If you know an employee at the company ask them to submit your resume. Your chances for an interview go up dramatically by using these techniques. After you submitted your resume call and follow up.\n\n� Your resume needs to be a marketing brochure on you. List your accomplishments and the results. A great resume is just the ticket to the interview, a mediocre resume is ignored. Check out the resume tips link listed below.\n\n� Got goals? Write down a list of ten realistic and specific goals. Create them as if you already achieved them. For example "I earn $75,000 a year" or "I am the Manager of Product Development". Then list everything you can do to achieve each

My advice to you is to let them know what you offer; probably the best way to do this is to get a personal interview. It can be a little difficult to get one of these, but with some behind the scenes networking you might be able to do it. I don't know your full situation completely, but I can tell you that there are certain keywords people look for in your resumes, so be sure and include those. I'm not an expert in your feild, so I couldn't tell you what the keywords are, but once you get past the resume part and start with the actual interviewing, this is your place to shine. Be straightfoward, be enthusiastic, let the company know what you can offer them. Companies are generally looking for someone with the highest skill set to fill a position for the lowest amount of money, and being a young graduate, you fit that description. Companies also are looking for people who want to move up and progress in their particular company, not just somebody who is going to get experience at their firm them move to another one. Let them know you are looking to grow with the company, that you're interested in intracompany promotion. All of these will key the people into you, and help you get the job. \nLastly, I would advise you to not give up. This seems simple, but a lot of people think that once a company says no, that's it. This is not always the case. PROVE yourself. PROVE your dedication. People respect that; I've seen persistance work time and time again.

All I can suggest is that you type up a CV and distribute them around the shops in your local town centre or central London. \n\nGiven the time of year, a lot of workers will be off to uni so this creates more vacancies. \n\nCheck with each shop what their preferred method of application is, some may prefer you to drop in a CV, others may have a set application form for you to fill in. \n\nMy tip: When you go into a shop to hand your CV in, try and give it to a member of staff that looks pretty senior (management etc) and not the bored, young sales assistant stood behind the counter popping her gum. This may sound harsh but I worked in retail for 7 years so I know what I mean. \n\nOr ask for a manager/supervisor when you go into each shop as they can advise you better as to the vacancy situation. \n\nGood luck, you're highly likely to secure a job is generally there's quite a high turnover of staff in retail

IT is hard work when you you try to find a job...find a job then becomes your job...you should spend at least 4 hours a day looking for work...\n\nDon't start your search at 12 noon...get up and get started when most offices open which is between 8am  and search until lunch time, email, fax, call all be4 12...after 12 until about 3 you should make a list of employers that you would like to contact on the next day!!\n\nGood look to you...if you need help writing a resume feel free to email me...I can really help you...

Well I'd say, wait a week after applying, if you do not hear anything in return, call them yourself. Just introduce yourself and say you recently turned in an application and were curious to know if anyone had the opportunity to go over it yet. Also mention you are very interested in working there and look forward to hearing back from them.   \nYou always want to sound interested in the position you're applying for and show confidence that you believe you can do a great job. \nAlso a tip before applying, or before accepting a job, is to go into the business you've applied to, by yourself or with a friend, hang out a bit, survey the people working around you - do they seem like nice people you would want to work around?  Do you see any managers? Do they seem nice? is everyone busy and happy...or busy and being pushed around?   Just observe. Being unhappy in a job is no fun.      \nSo take the initiative and call the places back first, wait a week and give them a call...be friendly and be confident. \nYou'll get a job eventually and its a great idea that you want to go out and work and make your own money :)

Find your Employment Office website and begin searching the jobs within your local area daily.\n\nFind your State's Job Bank and also search and apply for State job openings.\n\nFor Federal Job Openings http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/\n\nHotJobs listing http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/\n\nMonster.com http://www.monster.com/\n\nThose are all online ways of searching daily for a job.\n\nAlso, go in person to your local employment office and discuss your other options. \n\nIf you are in college, search for internship opportunities or work/study programs.\n\nCheck into Volunteer opportunities. Many companies may use volunteers to start out with and then hire the most qualified ones.\n\nTemp to Perm Agencies...look in the phone book and find one near you. They will test your skills and help place you in positions on a temp basis. Many companies use temp to perm agencies to evaluate employees prior to hiring on a permanent basis and some companies, this is the only way of being hired.\n\nMany companies have employment information on their website. As you are surfing the net, click on these links to see what they offer. Many times you can apply by submitting an online application.\n\nNetwork. Talk to people. Let everyone and anyone know that you are looking for work and if they see something to let you know. Sometimes you can be the first to hear about a position before it's advertised.\n\nContact the Human Resource and Personnel Offices of major business' in your area. Hospitals, Manufacturing plants, Resorts, and etc. All of the big ones have personnel departments.\n\nKeep your resume with you at all times. Have printed copies in your car. Have a folder with all your references and employment information handy so that when you do go about your normal day, if you enter a business where you might want to work, you can ask for an application. If they aren't hiring right now, someday they will be. Just ask them to keep it on file until an opening is available. Then if you hear about an opening later on, call them to touch base. This will put your application or resume on the top of the pile again.\n\nKey thing is to be consistent. Every day, set time aside to look for work. Either online or in person. Keep at it until you get some interviews. That is what I'm doing and although I don't have a job yet...I do have an interview on Wednesday.\n\nGood Luck!

Hi,  \n\n   The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.\n\n    Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.\n\n    Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.\n\n    Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.\n\n    Organization -- I use a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com \n\nGood Luck,\n\nKaren\n\n    http://indeed.com\n    http://job-hunt.org\n    http://jobsearchlog.com

Your odds of receiving a job just replying to classifieds are poor. The odds of only using company websites are even worse. Your not kissing up to people by getting to know them and asking about thier company. Talk to people you know, and ask to be introduced to people they know. Have 3 or 4 good questions to ask about a company, this will help you build a relationship with them. Your resume cannot say nearly as much about you as you can by knowing someone. Would you rather higher a stranger that seems qualified on paper, or someone similar that you know you can trust? Also, send out as many mailings as you can, they're cheap, you might get lucky.

Get a good resume together that has a specific job you are looking for not something vague like you want an interesting job. If you aren't specific, it will go into the trash. Go to the yellow pages and look up companies that have jobs like the one you want. Call them and ask if you can fax over your resume or ask if they are hiring people to do the job you want to do. Get a specific name to fax your resume to. Follow up in a week

to get a job you have to have a job.\n\nso get a job.  \n\nmeaning ANY job.  loading trucks or flipping hamburgers.  doesn't matter.\n\nthis will build confidence, give you a few bucks, and when you go for an interview you won't look like you sleep all day living with your mother.\n\nThen interview,interview, interview.   It's a numbers game.  You will be turned away by most companies.  And that is a GOOD thing.  Because anybody who turns you away knows it wouldn't work out.  They are doing you a favor.  Thank them for it.  Then, after a dozen interviews (or the first) someone will see in you the kind of person they need at their company and who will do well there.   Then you will have a job.  A good job that will last a while.\n\nBut first, to get a job, you have to have a job.   So go get any job.  Now.

try newspaper ads or a local temp agency.  most temp agencies (staffing agencies) place people as temp to hire.  they know the opportunities in your area and have lots of business connections.\na word of advice, though, don't let them forget about you!!! check back with them often to see if they have any interviews for you!\nAlso, check out your local state job agency.  they usually ahve a databse that you put your info on and employers can see you adn you can also see jobs posted by employers.  Plus, the state job agency is a great networking place. they usually have workshops and can give you some direction in your search!

From my experience over the years, it is essential as to WHAT you know but a KEY factor in who you know. \nIf you don't know people on the inside then take different avenues at getting the job. \nIt is much more productive to see, speak or talk to someone in person than to send a resume. Then your not just a name on a paper.\n\n How long has it been?\n\nMy advice is to get a part-time job and have your other job be finding a job in your field.\nThree months is the shortest I have ever heard of and a year and a half the longest.\n\nBe willing to work your way up too.\n\nWish you the best!

Fill out job applications, and then check back with the companies within a week if you don't hear. The more you fill out, the more likely you are to get a job. Good Luck.
