I'm after a professional job anywhere in the field of helping people. I'm mid 40s, when I was last job hunting it was really different.

How the fuck do I start?

Ah mate it does my fucking head in.

Upload the CV and then fill out a form with pretty much the same info on the CV.

I use Glassdoor for applying jobs in the down season - I work building bars at festivals in the UK so most of the new work I bag is word of mouth, and usually March - Sept.

During the off, I just use Glassdoor and the 'quick apply' option.

Bearing in mind this is glassdoor.es so I'm not sure if the UK one has a different format?

Depends on your field as well
