Danno i'd stick to your original plan of knocking on doors and getting jobs through mates, cause if you ask me it does not matter how good a cv is it still is not enough sometimes.

but if you insist, one tip I have is that you need to tailor your CV to match the job your applying for and try keep it short and concise. no point having stuff on there from when you were 17 if it has nothing to do with the job your applying for.

nowadays aswell it's probably not a bad idea to have some sort of FB profile as employers are looking at this more and more.

get your CV together. then make sure you include a cover letter that is tailored to each job you apply for, thus showing your interest in the job.
