depending what job you want, it is always better to search the companies that are on 2 mile radius and just go there and ask to talk with someone from the management, and leave a cv with them. once they have a face in their mind attached to the name, they may contact you when they need help.

Also, try agencies, that will offer you work as an agency worker, on daily basis. Kind of one day in some place, one day in other, when companies got someone in holiday and need a short term replacement.

Most of our new staf is agency workers who worken in our place before as agency. And remember #hiveuk tag, use that more often now.
