Thank you for this email

Unfortunately, we do not have access to the Jobcentre Plus vacancy

database and cannot offer jobsearch / customer matching through this

'contact us' emails service. You can, however, use our services to look

for work, even if you are not registered unemployed.

To view available jobs online, go to

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/index.htm

You can also view these vacancies, together with training and voluntary

opportunities and general careers advice, on the Worktrain website,

www.worktrain.gov.uk

In most cases, to apply for a job or to obtain further information you

will need to call our Jobseeker Direct service on 0845 6060 234 with the

reference number of any job you are interested in. This service can also

help you with your job search. For some vacancies – 'Apply Direct'

vacancies – you will be given the employer's contact details alongside

the job description so you can apply direct to them without any

intervention from Jobcentre Plus staff. Please do not send applications

through this email service, as we are unable to process them.

You can, of course, visit any Jobcentre or Jobcentre Plus office without

an appointment to search for work on one of our touch-screen terminals,

known as 'Jobpoints'. You will also have access to free-call telephones

so that you can enquire about jobs at no cost to yourself.

There are a number of other (non-governmental) job search websites that

you may find useful. These include www.fish4jobs.co.uk, www.reed.co.uk,

www.topjobs.co.uk , and www.guardian.co.uk/jobs to name a few.

Newspapers are another important source of jobs. Local and regional

newspapers carry advertisements for all types of jobs. Thursday tends to

be the most common day for local papers. National broadsheet papers

(such as the Guardian, Times, Independent, Telegraph, Financial Times)

tend to advertise jobs aimed at graduates, executives, managers, and

specialist.

Private employment agencies may also be able to help you acquire work.

There are numerous high street employment agencies, such as Manpower,

Reed, Kelly, Adecco, Horizon, and so on. You will find contact details

in your local Yellow Pages. Alternatively, visit the Recruitment and

Employment Confederation website, www.rec.uk.com This website will help

you select suitable agencies for the type of work you are looking for.

Another option would be to write to companies direct with a CV and

covering letter to see if they have any suitable vacancies or will

consider you for future vacancies. This is known as making a

'speculative' application. To find contact details for potential

employers, consult your local Yellow Pages or visit them online at

www.yell.co.uk

Hi,

ok, thank you very much for your e-mail.

I recommended Reed to a Norwegian IT-expert in Ireland, who possibly is

moving to Liverpool, and have read on my blog, since I sometimes write

about jobseeking-there, who asked me to recomend and employment-agency,

in Liverpool.

(Is there by the way a specialist employment-agency for IT-jobs in

Liverpool, if it's ok to ask.

I wonder a bit about this myself as well, since I haven't had my

IT-degree that long, and have mostly tried to prioritise getting my CV

and applications better, etc).

I let the Jobcentre determine if I need help with the applications,

(like you mention that Reed have a 6 week support-course to do help with

appliactions).

I got through the screening-process, for an IT-job in Chester now, after

going to the Reed-course, with my application, so I think it was a good

course.

Thank you very much again for the help.

I send a copy of this e-mail to the Jobcentre, since I've started

updating them.

Best regards,

Erik Ribsskog
