Getting a job in London
Ok so most of you are probably asking yourselves, what the ^%&* is an NI or National Insurance number?!
Well, It’s the UK’s equivalent of a tax file number if you’re from Oz, IRD number if you’re from NZ, or a xx if you are from SA.
You will need a National Insurance number when you start work, so that
a. You are taxed at the right amount
b. Your National Insurance Rebate, which is similar to Superannuation, is claimable once you leave the UK and return home.
It’s not an easy number to get, the system to get the number is annoying, long and illogical but it’s worth the pain of getting it –It makes claiming for tax and NI rebates much much easier – Actually it’s near impossible to get any money back from the UK government without one.

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).
when it comes to thinking jobs UK style, it’s all about recruiters really, as many companies often only hire through these guys. but buyer beware, as recruiters are a dime a dozen, and some don’t exactly have the most sparkling of reputations.
so make sure your UK recruitment agent:
• treats you right and really makes you feel like you’re being looked after
• calls you every week until they find you a job
• really listens to what it is you’re looking for.
