• Answer:

  When I was looking for work in a hurry in Newcastle a little while ago, I got a copy of the Yellow Pages and rang every employment agency that was listed. There was at least forty that were suitable for me. They'll usually ask you to email your CV, but tell them over the phone that you are desperate for a job, what you are willing to do, what experience and what qualifications you have. That might speed things up a bit. It might take a while to send out a large volume of CV's and covering letters, but it's worth giving yourself as many opportunities as possible. It should take about a day to phone around all the agencies and send off your details to all that are looking for candidates like you. I know that there are a few that are looking for law graduates (you'll have to look at the Yellow Pages to find out which ones are) and I know that Manpower, Office Angels and Kelly Services are looking for people with admin experience. I'd recommend Manpower as they take less of a cut of your pay. If you're looking for short term work in a hurry, it would be a good idea to do this. I got about ten job offers in a week when I did this. Have a look in the Chronicle tommorrow. They have a big section of job adverts of all kinds on Thursdays and a list of a some of the job agencies and their contact details are included at the back of that section too. Have a look on the NHS jobs website, and also on Newcastle councils website. They often advertise for plenty of admin staff throughout the area. Alternatively, just take a wander around the city centre with a couple of dozen copies of your CV and drop them into shops that are advertising for staff. There's usually quite a few looking to fill vacancies quickly. Good luck.
