Getting Started - Where to look?

I don't think it was said before but another place is http://www.careerbuilder.co.uk

I've gone through the massive social workers page and pulled out a few links that was recommended by some of the SWs on the page:

www.socialworkjobs.org.uk
www.socialcarecareers.co.uk
www.elitesocialworkers.com
www.charitypeople.co.uk
www.jobsincharities.co.uk
www.charityjob.co.uk
www.voluntarysectorjobs.co.uk
www.jobsgopublic.co.uk

I recommend Hays:  http://www.hays.com/

I have an interview with them tomorrow morning and most likely I will start work as soon as Monday next week!!! I'm so happy

I did not have similar luck with Hays.  Here's the e-mail response I received "The majority of vacancies handled by Hays Office Support do require a minimum of 6 months to 2 years practical experience within designated Human Resources, Sales and Marketing, Purchasing or Office Administration role within the UK. It is unlikely that we would be able to find a suitable post for you."

I got the same thing.

You have to pay 37 sterling for this job service, but it's really worked for me.

is that for all fields or just IT/Sales?

www.cvlibrary.co.uk is a good one as well.

how well did this work out for you?  My wife (she is English) is going back in September and is really concerned about getting a job right away because I will still be here paying our mortgage...I am staying till january when the dogs can come....

If it is worth the money, I would definitely pay the fee....thanks for any information you have.

Please keep this thread on recommendations of where to look for work. Cheers.

In London for new media/creative jobs, I've relied on (and found a job through!): http://jobs.chinwag.com/ [nofollow]

(Many jobs on it are listed by recruiters, but it's still a great source!)

I've found the Arts Council Website a good place to find job listings.  Unfortunately, most of them seem to be based around London, and not near my little corner of the South West, but I still like it!  If anyone knows of any websites for jobs not near London, I would be interested!

artsjobs.org.uk

I'm also going to throw this one in too.
