What the best way of finding a job? for example In a shop or in an office (data entry)

they say my English is very good...

any advice?

Answer 1

you can look on job websites, you can browse London Evening standard or the local papers.

You can sign up with Job recruiting agencies, they will tell you what you need.

Most employers will want a National Insurance number, some will need a Criminal records Bureau check done, this can take weeks to come through.

Good employers will want you to pay tax, but others will pay you minimum wages and give you cash in hand.

If your on a Visitor Visa, then your not expected to be working

Answer 2

First step, find a place to lodge and work in a pub, here you know many people and you can find another offer for a new job in future. Good luck!

Hi, Neo.

Answer 3

If you want one in a shop/ cafe/ pub its best to go in and ask and leave your contact details - these type of jobs are often filled informally.

If you want to work in an office write a CV highlighting your transferable skills and join some agencies (agencies should NOT charge you any money) the employer pays the fee.

If you have an EU Nationality I believe you may be entitled to benefits, maybe you can claim 'Job Seekers Allowance', google it.
