I don't know about the UK, but here they have a place where you can go and they have people there to help you on your resume. they have all the job postings in the city and near by cities who are hiring, applications, sites where you can go to fill out applications all the help in the world.
I went down there two weeks ago and filled out 10 applications and already got the job at a new job making $3 more and full time then my last lame job
You gotta want it.
the job centre lmao. thats where all the little scum of the world (myself included) go to pick up their unemployment benefits.
