Employment Agencies: Anyone can register with a private employment or recruitment agancy to look for work. Some agencies deal with vacancies covering a variety of different occupation, others specialise in vacancies of a particular type eg. Office or IT
Local and National Newspapers: Local newspapers are a good source of vacancies. There is often a particular day of the week when the jobs will appear. Keeping an eye on the vacancies section will give you a feel for the type of jobs around and the type of qualifications and skills required.
The Internet: The internet has become a new and very useful medium for job seeking. It offers advice on careers and companies, vacancies listed by employers and a place to post your CV. The data is updated constantly. Serach Google with keywords like 'milton keynes jobs' etc.
Newsagents/Local shop windows This is where you can often find casual or part time vacancies such as child minding, gardening, cleaning. If you have a particular skill you could always advertise this way
Using your contacts Most vacancies are never actually advertised but rely on staff to spread the word to people they may know. Tell your friends, neighbours, relations that you are looking for work and you may be lucky.
You could also contact firms 'on spec' either by a phone call or by writing a letter and enclosing your CV.
