Agencies. Search on Google for Sheffield Agencies and you will find a lot. Some are better than others but you can get jobs that way. Depending on the type of job you are looking for you can look at monster.co.uk, jobserve.com and any of the other "Job Search" sites. The job centre web site is another good place for certain types of jobs.
