Where can I search for jobs in the UK?
I’m an American. I was thinking about moving to somewhere in the UK for about a year to see what it was like.
Where are good places to look for jobs and housing?
What kind of visa would I need to get to live there since I’m not planning on becoming a permanent resident?
Thanks!
Firstly you have to think about that the UK is still in recession (apparently we are coming out late September). So loads of people are looking for jobs, nearly 4 million in fact and especially the young.
But if you do find a job then you are lucky, if you ask me then if I was you I would either stay in the USA for a while (just a year) or you can move here and get a badly paid job (but even some of those jobs are taken) you will have no chance of working in a shop.
The jobs that I find that are need of people are:
Bar work
Chefs
Care home staff
Nurses
Paper Boys/girls
I don’t know how someone from the USA can find UK jobs, there may be some websites.
How old are you?
If you are 18-25 then you can have a ‘gap year’ which means that you pay for a flight, youth hostel and you can do voluntary work in the UK for a few months. Which can cost from £2000. (don’t know how much that is in USD.
Anyway if you don’t understand any of this and if you want some more info on the UK then I will be more than happy for you to E-mail me (click on my avatar then follow the link).
Hope it all goes well and enjoy your trip.
