Exclamation Looking for Christmas work
Planning on coming home to accrington over Christmas for three months to spend time with my family but need to find work before I make the trip. Wondering if any one has anything or knows of anything that could be suitable? Will do anything and have references from a library a supermarket and a pet shop. Thanks

Get yourself a copy of the Hynburn Business Directory and write or ring round asking if anyone has any work, best option I can think of?

Full marks for trying to plan ahead but I can't imagine many places will entertain an application from abroad until you get over here. Loads of students after part times jobs here.

Oh that's cool I can't come back until November anyway due to studies that's when my university year finishes. Hopefully you will have something available then! But yes like I mentioned in the email without knowing i will have a job ready for when I get there I won't be able to come which is why I'm looking so early. Thanks for all your help!

Our mainstream news reports that ex pats from Australasia are returning home because job prospects in UK (and Europe) are dire.

I think you misunderstood my post. Like many small businesses in the UK we struggle to survive. The fact we are in a dying town makes it ten times harder.

As Margaret says the job market here is dire.

How long have you been away for ? If it's more than a couple of years you are in for a real shock trying to find a job here
