The Bagging the Job handbook offers simple, user-friendly job search tips, especially for individuals who had never been in the labor market or those who have left it a while ago. Each chapter explores essential strategies to help job seekers find professional opportunities within the job market, with a particular emphasis on the specific soft skills required for success across varied fields and domains. With tips and tricks on communication skills, interview preparation, and crafting CVs and cover letters, I hope this manual helps and empowers individuals to better navigate the job search process.

The Help in the Bag Job Search Repository is a comprehensive, open-access database that was developed in July 2025 to support individuals within the homeless community in London. This repository consolidates information on organizations that provide job search assistance, as well as council housing support. It serves as a valuable resource, offering detailed insights into available services aimed at facilitating employment and housing opportunities for vulnerable individuals. The repository was meticulously researched and designed to ensure that key resources are easily accessible to those in need, thereby aiding their efforts to achieve greater stability and independence.
