    Target companies and speak with them asking if they need any help.

    Very important that you don't just rattle off a few emails or hand in CVs left right and center. You have to speak to people. Find out who the manager or decision maker is and ask them do they need any help. Pubs, shops, construction, everywhere and anywhere.

    Get your parents to put out word that you are looking also. 80% of jobs are not advertised at all. And people use their own social network to get staff and ask if staff are any good, so a recommendation from anyone would help, but the most important thing you can do is ask directly yourself.
