Yep, pretty hard to get any jobs here in the UK, lucikly a friend of mine is giving me a couple of days a week till I get someone more secure... I'd suggest looking at your local free job directories??
What kind of job you are looking for? If online or freelancing type jobs then you may try at eZdia, it just asks you to post your expertise their and employers will reach to you for their work.
I do not know what your qualifications are but in general you could go to anyone of the services on line to help babysit, pet sit, house sit or run errands for the elderly. Try sittercity.com to start. Good luck!
craigslist is always a good place to start. someone always needs manual labor...moving, yard work, etc..
