Think about the job you want. Take into consideration your interests (e.g. whether you're a people person), your time and financial situation and look for those roles that you know will contribute to your life in a positive way and help you reach your long term goals.
Then, set yourself small tasks such as; completing say 2 job applications a week. Tailor your applications to the roles you're applying for. Proof read and ask someone you trust for their honest opinion/feedback before sending it off. - Good luck!

I would start by determining what you are qualified for and what interests you. Once you know that information job boards are a great place to start. Also, creating a LinkedIn page can help you network with people in your career field.

1. Create an account on platforms like LinkedIn. It's one of the easiest ways of showing what you have to a wider audience.
2. While at that, you should also give effort to visit individual companies (either in person or via their websites), and check out their announcements in bulletin boards or under their "careers" page in their site. Note that you can submit an application even when companies have not implicitly stated that they need employees.
3. Continue building your network both in real life and in professional social media. You can do this by being an active member in the community (volunteer works), and by actively participating in online forums.

I am personally in the same boat for trying to find a job so hopefully I can help you out with this. Firstly, you should try to start with thinking about what hobbies and interests you have and how it could become a career, as being interested in your job is very important for overall mental health and general enjoyment in life and so finding a job that could link to something you naturally enjoy doing already could be helpful especially as it might mean you already have experience in that area. Another thing you could do is think about the general types of jobs there are such as desk jobs, travelling jobs, manual labour, and interacting with the public. You can research briefly into each type you can think of and see if any of them feel better suited to you and your circumstances. Thinking about whether you're interested in maths, science, and mechanical types or more literature and arts and crafts is another good starting point and most jobs are put into one or the other. Think about if you want to work in a large business or small or even a charity organisation. I personally couldn't see myself in a large, competitive business organisation and am researching into the charity sector, particularly regarding animals and dogs and these are what I can feel that I am strongly drawn to. From that, use job searching sites like Indeed and type in general words like finance, or administration or environment to begin to see the titles and types of jobs that come up and look at their key characteristics and requirements for someone in these roles and think about if it would suit you or want you might be looking for. You should also work up a general CV with your qualities and skills like organisation and what you got in your GCSEs, or university or any work qualifications that you have received. There are many qualities that are always useful in any workplace and this could even be useful in seeing if there is anything that you seem to naturally lead towards such as management with leadership qualities.

Research is crucial. Try to find out more about the culture of a potential employer by surfing online, or if close by, just going and watching the employees going in and out. I wouldn't suggest applying through the job sites, if you find a position there, just go to the company's website and apply there instead. Build a strong C.V. / Resume, translate it to several languages (this service should help https://isaccurate.com/arabic-translation-services - I used one of these services I stayed pleased ). Be patient and do not stop chasing your dreams. I wish you good luck with landing your dream job!

First is to look for a job hiring. Maximize the use of internet. Search on different job websites that offers job positions depending on your preferrences, there will also be an job application that you could possibly download both from play and app store, do the traditional ways which is to go around the neighbor or near town to look for job postings on establishments itself or ask from friends or family if they know one. After looking for possible job opening then make sure to be prepared. Review and make resewrch about the company and specific job position you will be applying for. Doing such things will help you to do better during interviews.
