Despite the economy, there are still thousands of new UK jobs being posted every day in many different sectors and at most levels. Don't think there are no jobs, they ARE out there and all you have to do is look for them. I've started you off with some useful contacts below.
It's also true that employers and agencies are cutting back on their advertising spend so that could give the impression of fewer UK jobs being available, but it means you just need to be more determined in seeking out the organizations and individuals who can help to give you access to the jobs that are available.
Whilst it is difficult to demonstrate, over time it has been proved that there are at least one or two unadvertised jobs for every advertised job you see and in my opinion it means that you should spend time on responding to relevant advertised jobs, but you should also spend AT LEAST AS MUCH time (if not more) on seeking out the unadvertised or unpublished vacancies that DEFINITELY exist.
What do you need for UK Jobs?
You need to know your own capabilities and be able to communicate them to other people both on paper (or electronically by email) and in person. This means that you must
have a great CV and
covering letter for every job application and you must be well
prepared for interviews. You can do all of that with my assistance on this site where you can access all of the information you need.
To help you along a bit more, I've put together a list of useful contacts in the UK jobs market who between them cover most of the different job types. I am not endorsing or recommending these organizations, it is merely for your information - use your own judgement about their suitability to help you.
