Work Travel Places Your CV Letters

Get in front of the places that never advertise.

Plenty of local jobs in hospitality and retail are filled by word of mouth, before they’re ever posted. Doorstep finds the employers on your doorstep, writes a proper letter for each one, and hands every one to you to read and approve first.

✓
Nothing is sent without you. Doorstep never touches your inbox. You read and approve every letter, one at a time, and nothing goes out that you have not seen.

How it works

  1. Tell us the work you want and how far you’ll travel.
  2. We show you real places nearby, one at a time — pick the ones worth writing to.
  3. Add a CV if you have one — or don’t: we write from the work you want and when you’re free.
  4. You review each letter, and only the ones you approve go anywhere.
About five minutes

Work near you

Real cafés, shops and pubs near you that might take you on. See them first — nothing is sent without you.

The work

Within 5 miles — further, by itself, if that finds fewer than 16 — any hours, by bus, train or on foot. You can change all of that once you’ve seen the places.

Step 4 of 5

First job? You don’t need one.

Your letters can say what’s true right now.

Drop your CV here

PDF, Word, plain text — or a photo of the page. Whatever you’ve got.

We’ll write from what you’ve told us — the work you want and when you can do it. You can add a CV later.

Haven’t got a CV?

Plenty of people in this line of work don’t, and it shouldn’t stop you. The CV builder asks a few questions — where you’ve worked, school and grades, what you’re like to work with — fits the CV to where you are, and makes one you can download and use anywhere. About five minutes, free, and it brings you straight back here.

Step 1 of 5

The work you’re after

Pick anything you’d genuinely take. The more honest this is, the better the letters read.

Roles

Kinds of place

Pick the kinds of place you’d work in — or pick a role above and we’ll suggest them.

Hours

The shifts you can actually do

Step 2 of 5

Where you can get to

Be realistic about the commute — a job you can’t reliably reach on a Sunday morning isn’t a job.

Finding places near you…

Every place is a real business, from the food hygiene register or OpenStreetMap. We read their own websites, one at a time, with a pause between each.
