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.

I did get your email. When the owner starts getting paid a wage I'll be in a position to hire staff ;)

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
 
You are going to find it difficult as how can you attend a job interview? Most shops will have temp staff jobs advertised Oct/Nov, but you always have to have an interview. Good luck.

I've been away about 7 years. Jobs are just as bad here at the moment too though. Maybe not quite as bad as in a small town cause I live in the city but still pretty awful.

I unders. And I know it will be hard and very unlikely I will get anything. But a small chance is better than no chance when I want to come home so badly! :)
 
How about applying at express gifts in clayton. Can you use a computer ok. Perhaps you can get on in the phones
