Can't find a job. Advices welcome

[bouhbouh]

Good afternoon.

I left my previous job when my second one was 10 months old. Now that he is big enough, I have decided to get back to work, but unfortunately I can't find anything. I worked as an office clerk and Marketing Assistant for the past 5 years (before being unemployed). I have been looking for 6 months and nothing has come yet. I am getting desperate especially because I am no longer entitled to job seeker's allowance ( it was not a lot but at least it helped me). Honestly, I am getting lost now. I am willing to do any kind of Jobs, like in customer service, retail or catering. I don't know what to do. By the way , I am a native French speaker. Could you please give me any advices on how to increase my chances to find something. Thank you

Hello,

Have you heard of this website:

www.womenlikeus.org.uk

They have a job board advertising part time/ flexible jobs and are specifically geared towards women returning to work.

It's really tough at the moment.... sending you lots of good luck with your job search!

Hiya,

i've been told about this event - not been before, but it's free, so maybe worth a try? http://www.workingmumslive.co.uk/ (hope the link works).I might be going, just to check it out....

The organisers - workingmum.co.uk have jobs advertised online too - again, i have not tried it, but looks good.

Wishing you best of luck!

I'm sure you already have, but just in case you could go to the one stop shop on the ground floor of peckham library to make sure you are getting all the benefits you are entitled too.
