Re: how easy it is to find a job?
It's easier dependant on where you live/are.
Generally in London there are many agencies and long lists of jobs on job boards, other parts of the Uk can be harder. We have high unemployment in Great Yarmouth area for example so competition for jobs is tough.
It may be worth looking at whats in your local job centre as a start.
Otherwise the free press locally should carry job adverts.
I think if you are self-motivating and can throw a good CV together then you should succeed, but it's not easy.
