Don't you worry about your English kidder its better than mine by the looks of it.

Loads of work in tourist industry and on farms, all very boring but pays the bills. If your smart you will find something else though.

Try the jobcenter website for starters, then the " this is Cornwall" website.
The papers that this site represents carry a lot of jobs. Same goes for "the packet news papers".

If you are a student you could always ask at the Combined Universities of Cornwall

Go to Newquay, find a bed in one of the surfer's hostels (they are quite cheap - try Surfer's Paradise) and get a bar/hotel job. It'll be the maddest summer of your life.
Other resorts have similar work going but less of a 'scene'. There is also a lot of farm work, if you don't mind working hard.

sounds a little bit insecure icon_wink , as we in germany say "eat or die" ;D. can't imagine that an unexperienced, in the bar/hotel branch, person gets a job :/.

Decide what kind of work you want to do and then email as many places as possible - you should get some offers.
If you have no experience in anything I'd reccommend being a kitchen porter (or dishwasher). There are always KP jobs
