Getting 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).
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.

small note:
when applying for full time jobs in London (or any UK jobs), be sure to ask your recruiter about getting a National Insurance (NI) Number, your P45, P60, and all the other P forms you might need to start or exit a job, and also check where your NI rebate is going (kinda like the UK equivalent to superannuation).
