Yeah but having experience of working in lots of different jobs isnt necereraly what employers want. From my experiences i have found that they prefer you to have worked in one place for a while to show that your loyal. And you still havent told us what experience you have ie; where you worked, what kind of duties and responsibilities you had, how long you worked there. Not a lot i can do for you without that info mate.
Ya might have to be flexible in working weekends as well. Most people dont like doing it, which is why there are more jobs out there if you are willing to work unsocial hours. However it is a foot in the door and there may be a point once working that you can go for different shifts.
Dont think I had a weekend not working for 5 years or summat daft but now I have the luxury of choosing my own hours

Main thing is to try to get your foot in the door. When i started at sayers i was a saturday lad, im only contracted to do a minimum of 8 hours but i usually do more than 20. And you need to realise the more restrictions you put on what hours you wont do and what work you wont do the less chance you have of finding work.
I agree completely with Ian, Rindy and others regarding be willing to start "at the bottom." Before I felt able/worthy of getting a "more respectable position," I had paited house, cut and fried donuts, worked all jobs on a dairy farm (no shuffling cow crap is as close to the bottom as you can get!) as was having (too gross, ask me that one at the Christmas Meet), slaughtered pigs, sheep, cattle, rats, and then some really gross stuff. 
However, all these references of my dependabilty, promptness, and willingness to do any job and do it right, ended up with me working in a high level job with the Federal Government. Also made me appreciate as well as be respected by those in the aforementioned jobs because "I had been there."
Good luck Mate!

Well ive done various stuff throughout my life ie shops, stores, caring,factory etc and always gone back to bar work . I loved it . Ive always worked eves weekends xmas new years etc and would never have had it any other way . because for many years i was a single parent and couldnt afford to go out much so by working the unsocial hrs i was able to have a social life . . Besides it was great to give others "their fix" cus thats when i got he best tips lol ..
Also ended up with my own pubs eventually . starting at the bottom is the best policy .
Ive got two teenage lads both of which i hope will do ok they are both very good and hard workers although one of them has just been laid off due to end of season(drawback of doing seafront bars) however the first thing he did was apply at local spar for some hrs . He dosent want to work there as he was in the middle of doing his nvq for bar management but i know he will if he has too . thankfully the bar he has been workin at all season has decided to find him some out of season hrs so as he can carry on with his nvq . so alls well .
Point being be prepared to do the hrs and the rewards will follow . good luck with the search

Might be an idea to give a bit more info speedy as to what places want staff - there plenty of people whom want jobs & will actively get off their bums to get one, some more here maybe be looking to fill staff vacancies but dont know where - plus help those employers fill their vacancies with the help of word or mouth
Win win situation all round should it help Jae or someone else here looking for work & the employers after needed staff.

I heard pc world are after staff for the christmas rush. You can apply online i think 
Well most of the pubs and clubs in town need bar staff for over christmas. Lots of warehouse work going at the moment through agencies (check jobcentre plus website). Many of the shops in town have vacancies advertised in the window. Really aint difficult to find a job at this time of year.
Never trying through an agency again they don't help at all..
The agencies are better than the job centre. What are you going to do, wait for somebody to come knocking on the dooor ?

No.
I'd rather go into places myself and give my CV than agencies that are supposed to help you find work..
But they dont.
Thet dont help in the slightest, I've more a chance being blind and deaf and finding a job in a call center than finding a job through an agency.
I'm guessing you're already in work?
If you wasn't then you'd know.
