I know this sounds really obviousBut have you tried an agency? Somewhere like office angels gets you into an office for work. It might not be great work or pay too great but work is work. While you are there you can at least look for other work that might suit you more.
And you never know, some temp jobs can be really good. One place I temped in I loved, the work was pretty crappy but the people there were really good and we got on really well. Plus half my mates worked in the same building so we just went straight out drinking on a Friday night.
They might take 10% of your money but it's better than having nothing.

My sister got the best job in the world through an agencyShe worked for the Ombedsman and litraly pulled a Prescott and play Crouqet most of the day, after spending about 30 minutes doing actual work.
Its unbelievable the amount of waste there, they all demand 1st class tickets where ever they go. Once they got the "wrong size" toilet paper, and were just going to skip it so my sister and another temp just took it all home.. Our family didnt buy bog roll for a year!

...gets you into an office for workafter you've filled out 37 forms, been in for 6 interviews and 13 computer tests, provided 17,456 different references each of which have known you for at least 3 times as long as you've been alive, given over enough personal data to form at least 3 separate false versions of yourself, and then maybe they'll consider you for the data entry job for which you'll be rejected (but never informed) because you've got a typing speed of 56wpm when the advert specifies 55.
