Or should you only enquire about jobs if they are advertised in store, with the Job Centre etc?
I would go to the store, ask someone stacking shelves who to speak to about a job, they will give you the manager’s name. Find the manager. "Mr Smith, I wonder if you can help me? I like Sainsburys and would very much like to work here, when do you think you might have a vacancy?"
not "do you have a vacancy?" because the answer is yes or no.
asking nicely if someone can help is a great way to start, nobody can say "no"
Have you recently been laid off, or are you thinking about embarking on a new career in construction? If so, you may be wondering what your options are, and how you should go about finding a new construction job.
The following advice is intended to help anyone in their quest to find a construction job by making their search as wide-reaching and effective as possible.
Exhaust all possible sources
There are many avenues open to you as you search for a construction job, and you should make use of all of them. These include construction job boards, recruitment agencies, and career fairs. You should also try contacting companies directly to see if they have any suitable construction vacancies.
There are various factors that you should take into consideration when looking for a new job in construction.
CV and cover letter
Employers will form a first impression of you based on the CV, cover letter or application form that you send them. Spend time researching and putting the relevant information together. Your CV and cover letter should be professional looking and be tailored to the specific company and job role rather than mass produced.
Consider your options
If possible, don’t accept the first construction job you are offered. Think over your options to make sure you are making the right decision.
Don’t quit on a whim
Make sure you have something else arranged to move onto before quitting your current construction job.
Prepare and practise
Prior to an interview for a construction job, spend some time preparing and practising the answers to likely questions. Ensure you can sell yourself without appearing arrogant.
Learn from others
Seek advice and guidance from others and do some research on the Internet to help you when you are looking for a construction job.
Network your way to a new construction job
Networking is one of the most effective methods of creating new opportunities. Build contacts with employers, colleagues and clients - you never know when you might need be able to use them. To this end, it is best to keep in touch with as many people as possible as your life, and career, progresses.
Never be afraid to ask family, friends and friends of family friends for help if they are in a position to give it. Networking is not a one-off deal, but as long as you work to maintain healthy relationships, people will generally be happy to help in any way they can.

500 Pieces Shaped Jigsaw Puzzle. It’s a full house in this shaped designer puzzle featuring charming bird houses of every style and size. It’s no wonder the beautifully detailed birds are ‘flocking’ to stay. With its brilliant coloration and detailing, this puzzle is a delight to behold.
When I search for Jobcentre online it brings up details of jobs they are currently advertising, rather than vacancies actually working with them.
It’s now found at www.direct.gov.uk/jobs
Hope this helps.
Good luck with your job hunting.
