Notice
boards in school or college
Some schools and
colleges will display ‘summer starts’ vacancy cards. These are
usually displayed November to June and give details of job
vacancies that have a start date of July 2009 or later. If your
school or college doesn't display these ‘summer starts’, you can
find them on Vacancies Online.

Jobcentre Plus offices will
have many jobs on file, some of which may be suitable for
you.
Recruitment
agencies

agency will look at your skills and experience and then match you

Newspapers and
magazines
Local newspapers
like the Nottingham Evening Post,
Worksop
Guardian or
Mansfield Chad
are a good source of job vacancies. National newspapers such as
The
Guardian,
Independent
and Telegraph
also carry some trainee roles. Look out for specialist magazines
too that cover the area you’re interested in. You may find some of
these in your college or local library.
On the
computer
Many
organisations use the internet to advertise their latest
vacancies. Most companies also have their own website which
often has an employment or jobs page - try typing their name into a
search engine like Google.
Books
You may find
‘Summer Jobs in Britain’ or ‘Abroad’ and the ‘Job Book’ in your
local library. These can provide useful names and addresses of
organisations.
