Sit on your arse, ringing round people, trawling the job ads won't find you work.
You need to get off your backside and physically trawl the sites instead. You will have more luck...trust me

Says who? Always preferred the 'get aff yer erse and go and look approach' and can honestly say that 99% of my jobs have been through going looking rather than the so called 70% who you know! Times are hard but seek and you shall find!
