Looking for a job or apprenticeship? We can help.<br />
Jobs <strong>and</strong> job hunting<br />
Whilst at school tell your PA that you are looking for a job or<br />
apprenticeship. Your PA can tell you about any suitable vacancies our<br />
Recruitline service receives. Go to page 55 to see how Recruitline helped<br />
Adam.<br />
After school it is important you keep in touch with your PA, check<br />
vacancies on www.workabout.org.uk or call in to one of our Centres until<br />
you find a suitable job or apprenticeship. See page 54 for ideas of things<br />
to do until you are fixed up.<br />

vacancies go unadvertised.<br />

‘speculative’ applications, see page 63.<br />

take the first one offered if it is a dead end job<br />
