Im a full time forensic student & in the summer I will need a job to keep me and my flat afloat...problem is I have been looking for 3 months and now panicing as I really cant find anything at all. The job centers have nothing, ive handed cv's to places, asked locally and even posted a few adds on gumtree and im getting nothing but stupid replys from people wanting dates, escorts and massages... :( Is there any sort of benefit I can apply for that may help pay my rent over the summer months i'm not at university or will I be on the streets in 2 months time if I can't ind anywhere :(
and does anyone know much about the job seekers allowance?

forget job seekers, buy new scientist mag (out weekly) there is always graduate science jobs out there,
also forget sending cvs people dont read them
get on the phone, it shows willing, and if possible go in person, try funeral homes, not exactly glamourous but they may be able to give you something uni cant get you and future employers want ...experience
good luck

If you're still a student at Uni next year and this is your summer break then you can't get job seekers allowance. Student loan? Career development loan? Interest free overdraft on student account?
It's not glamorous, but there should be waitressing/bar work about, particularly as it gets warmer (I realise you may have your sights set higher than this). At the moment, there is just a severe lack of jobs and temp agencies don't have as much to offer as companies are cutting back so not employing temps.
Try your uni careers office. They usually have part-time jobs as well as graduate jobs and sometimes there are admin jobs/casual work available at uni over the summer. My Uni did loads of conferences and stuff and they had to be staffed. Also our halls were rented out during the summer and one of my friends worked in the office for that and as a housekeeper (again, not very glamorous!). If you know any one who already has a casual job, get them to ask at work about vacancies. Ask them how/where they got their job. If a lot of the students will be going home for summer and they have part-time jobs, they won't be doing them over the summer, so maybe you could pick one of those up (again, not sure where you are so not sure if this will make a difference or not).
Just persevere, keep your eyes open, small places often just advertise for staff in their shop/restaurant/bar window. Be prepared to do any job (as long as it's safe, obviously!), I mean like waitressing, shop work, housekeeping (room cleaning in hotels. I did it in sixth form, really easy job) etc. etc. Just think that it will look good on your C. V. that you got yourself a job to support yourself during your studies.
Good luck!

I agree with yecats about the New Scientist mags, JM., and if no job materialises from that, at least you'll have some interesting reading in the meantime.
I really don't know about JSA. Best to go to the Job Centre and enquire about any entitlements.
I know someone who got a job at Currys in between her studies. That paid enough for her bedsit, and there's always bar work, waitressing or possible temporary civillian office work at police stations. Local hospitals may also have temp vacancies. They usually have notice boards up with any jobs going.
