How I did it: Actually after MANY months I applied at a place for help called HAYS I went to their assessment centre and they sort out my experiences.

I didnt get the first job I applied for with them but after not even 2 days they called back and said I got a job somewhere else!

Lessons & tips:

• Apply for at least 3 jobs a day
  
• try to sign up with an agency so they can look for you aswell
  
• Present yourself well at interviews, jeans and casual wear are not really acceptable things to wear, try not to wear bright colours as it makes you look like you want attention.
  
• tailor your resume for EVERY job you apply for, some jobs look at what you want out of the job simply by looking at what you put at the top of your categories.
  
• if you really want a job put a cover letter with every resume and also tailor this to fit the job description
  
• read the add and underline the things they talk about that stands out eg. enthusiastic, reliable, experience, hard working etc and put this in your cover letter eg. I believe I am a hardworking and enthusiastic person, working as a cashier for 2 years has given me great customer service skills I also am very good when handeling money. ect..
