Working in the UK advice - finding a job in London

whether to fund your travels or get a longer-term gig, it’s important to understand that the UK job market is a little different to our own. so to get all clichéd on you, please try to make like a scout and be prepared. (before leaving home if you can).

Tips from a London Recruiter

in London, recruitment companies are the key to success. almost all companies that advertise roles, go through a recruitment company as a gateway to filter out and manage the job applicants. so in order to successfully land a job in London you are going to have to be familar with how the system works and what processes you will need to go through in order to get to the top of a pile of resumes.

The Hard Stuff (Part 1)

One of the most difficult things to get in the UK is a bank account. Because it’s a financial hub, the country is very careful about whom they give accounts to. When I got here, I had to open a Passport account at HSBC because I had no previous credit history in the UK. I also had no fixed address because I was living at a friend’s house.

Employment in the UK

There are a lot of people giving advice about finding jobs in the UK, and I do not pretend n the slightest to have any expertise in this area. I thought I’d just share with you my own experience to do with employment in the UK.

Umbrella Companies - an easy way to save money without even trying.

Deciding on an umbrella company to get paid through when working in the UK can be very confusing, so I thought I would try and cover some of the most common misconceptions contractors have whilst using an Umbrella Company and the actual truth behind the myths!

Teaching in the UK?

The aim of RMTA is to create an online social hub where teachers can rate, review, and learn more about teaching agencies in London. As a new teacher to London, the agency options can be overwhelming. At RMTA, you can learn from the experience of teachers who are already teaching in London so that you can make an informed decision before you arrive.

Looking for work on the other side of the World

It’s still a wee while before I jet off to London, but since I tend to be on the over-organised side (largely due to excitement) and I want to get the career-ball rolling, I’ve started searching for jobs in London while I pass the time.
I’m not expecting to arrive at Heathrow one week and stroll into my nice well-earned job the next, but I can at least try!

Perseverance does in fact pay off

After applying for numerous amounts of jobs in and around London (bearing in mind I’m still a planned three and a half months away, with the intention of moving immediately if I am offered full-time work) I’ve finally struck something that almost feels like employment – freelance work.
