I found it very hard to get a job, the technique I did was send letters out. I Had a cover letter and a 2 page Cv, all printed on quailty carded coloured paper. With windowed envolopes. It might sound a little over the top, but that extra bit you put into your letters makes the difference. I had people ringing me up telling me how nicely presented the cv and letter was, but unable to offer me a job. Eventually somebody took a chance on me and have taken me on. My hour paid is low at the moment but once I get some experience it'll go up.

I sent around 350 letters off, to companies not offering jobs. Actually the current company I'm with wasn't offering any jobs at the time but still took me on.

If you keep looking something will turn up, usually when your least expecting it.
